Inspection
Univarsal Joint and Boots
1. Shift the transmission to Neutral.
2. Raise the vehicle off the ground, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations (see section 1).
3. Check the cente. support bearing for excessive play
or rattle. It the center support has excessive play or
raftle, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
No. 1 PROPET_LER SHAFT
Check the universal joint boots for damage and dete-
rioration. lt the boots are damaged or deteriorated,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.
Check the universal joints for excessive play or rattle.
lf the universal joints have excessive play or rattle,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.
Propellor Shaft Runout
6. Install a dial indicator with its needle on the center of
No, 1 or No.2 propeller shaft.
7. Turn the other propeller shaft slowly and check the
runout. Repeat this procedure for the other propeller
shaft.
No. 1 Propeller Shaft Runout:
Service Limit: t.5 mm (0.06 in)
No. 2 Propeller Shaft Runout:
Service Limit: 1.5 mm {0.06 inl
lf the runout on either oroDeller shaft exceeds the
service limit, replac€ the propeller shaft assembly.
