C: INSPECTION
NOTE:
Do not disassemble propeller shaft. Check the fol-
lowing and replace if necessary.
•Tube surface for dents of cracks
•Splines for deformation or abnormal wear
•Unsmooth joint operation or abnormal noise
•Center bearing for free play, noise or non-
smooth operation.
•Oil seals for abnormal wear or damage
•Damaged center bearing
Check the following points with propeller shaft in-
stalled in vehicle.
1. JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS
1) Remove the center exhaust pipe.
2) Remove the heat shield cover.
3) Check for any looseness of the yoke flange
mounting bolts which connect to the rear differen-
tial and center bearing bracket mounting bolts.
2. SPLINES AND BEARING
1) Remove the center exhaust pipe.
2) Remove the rear exhaust pipe and muffler.
3) Remove the heat shield cover.
4) Turn the propeller shaft by hand to see if abnor-
mal free play exists at splines. Also move yokes to
see if abnormal free play exists at spiders and
bearings.

C: CAUTION
Please understand and adhere to the following general precautions. They must be strictly followed to avoid
any injury to the person performing the work or persons in the area.
1. OPERATION
•Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective goggles and protective shoes during operation.
•Before removal, installation or disassembly, be sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary removal, in-
stallation, disassembly and replacement.
•Use SUBARU genuine grease etc. or equivalent. Do not mix grease etc. with that of another grade or from
other manufacturers.
•Before securing a part on a vise, place cushioning material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate, or cloth
between the part and the vise.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified points.
2. OIL
When handling oil, follow the rules below to prevent unexpected accidents.
•Prepare container and waste cloths when performing work which oil could possibly spill. If oil spills, wipe
it off immediately to prevent from penetrating into floor or flowing outside, for environmental protection.
•Follow all government and local regulations concerning waste disposal.

E: INSPECTION
Check the removed part for wear, damage and
cracks, and then repair or replace it if defective.
1. DAMPER STRUT
1) Check for oil leaks.
2) Move the piston rod up and down to check that it
operates smoothly without any hitch.
3) Piston rod play
•Measure the play as follows:
Fix the outer shell in place and fully extend the rod.
Set a dial gauge at the end of rod L [10 mm (0. 39
in)], and then read the dial gauge indication P1while applying a force of W [20 N (2 kgf, 4 lb)] to the
threaded portion. Apply a force of 20 N (2 kgf, 4 lb)
from the opposite direction of “W”, and then read
the dial gauge indication P2.
Play limit (P1 + P2):
0.8 mm (0.031 in)
If the play exceeds limit, replace the strut.
2. STRUT MOUNT
Check the rubber part for deformation, cracks or
deterioration, and then replace it with a new one if
defective.
3. DUST COVER
If any cracks or damage are found, replace it with a
new one.
4. COIL SPRING
If a permanent strain is found, replaced it with a
new part.
