Propeller Shaft
General Description
401R200001
Legend
(1) Front Propeller Shaft
(2) Rear Propeller Shaft;
Aluminum Tube with Flange Yoke Type (for
4y2 model)
(3) Rear Propeller Shaft;
Steel Tube Type (for 4y4 model)
Torque is transmitted from the transmission to the axle
through the propeller shaft and universal joint assembles.
All propeller shafts are the balanced tubular type. A
splined slip joint is provided in some drivelines.

Since the propeller shaft is balanced carefully,
welding or any other modification is not permitted.

Alignment marks should be applied to each propeller
shaft before removal.
Park, turn the engine off and apply the parking brake
to secure the vehicle.

Carefully attach the propeller shaft to the vise, do not
overtighten the vise when securing the propeller
shaft, this may cause deformation.

Removal
1. Jack up the vehicle and support it on the chassis
stands.
2. Gear shift lever should be placed in neutral position
and parking brake released.
3. Remove the exhaust and transfer protectors.
NOTE: Apply alignment marks on the flange at the front
propeller shaft both front and rear side.

4. Remove bolt, nut and washer (Front axle side).
5. Remove bolt, nut and washer (Transfer side).
6. Remove front propeller shaft.
NOTE: When removing, installing or carring the front
propeller shaft, be sure to wrap a piece of cloth around the
part of the boot with which fittings may interfere so that the
boot can be protected. The boot may be damaged if
bending force is applied to the constant velocity joint of
the shaft.

Installation
NOTE: Never install the shaft assembly backwards.
Completely remove the black paint from the connecting
surface of flange coupling on each end of propeller shaft.
Clean so that no foreign matter will be caught in between.
1. Align the mark which was applied at removal. Install
front propeller shaft and tighten the bolts to the
specified torque.
Torque: 63 N´m (46 lb ft)
2. Install the exhaust and transfer protectors.
Constant Velocity Joint
NOTE: L J a n d B J constant velocity joints are
unremovable types. Check the joint for play and the boot
for damage, wear, and leak of grease. If abnormality is
found, replace propeller shaft as an assembly.

4C±33 DRIVE SHAFT SYSTEM
Play in Constant Velocity Joint
Position the shaft in a vise between two pieces of wood,
then secure.
Test for shaft movement by attempting to move back and
forth, and side to side.
Secure as needed.

Boot of Constant Velocity Joint
Check the following: boot (2) for crack, damage and
grease leakage, the boot band (1) for looseness and
damage, and both sides of the joint for gease leakage
coming from the cover press-in parts (3).
