Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS).
REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT AND WIRING
LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON
OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PEREFORMING
SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS
OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS
SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
WARNING COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AI
R
BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM
REPAIRS. CAUTION : Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener,
use ONLY the exact part number for that
application. ISUZU will call out those fasteners
that require a replacement after removal. ISUZU
will also call out the fasteners that require thread
lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE
SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings
(Paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors)
on threaded fasteners or fastener joint
interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely
affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping
force, and may damage the fastener. When you
install fasteners, use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts
and systems.

Torque is transmitted from the transmission to the
axle through 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 total balanced carefully,
welding or any other modification are not permitted. 
Alignment marks should be applied to each
propeller shaft before removal.

Be sure vehicle is stopped, engine is not running,
brake is secured and vehicle is secured to prevent
injury.

Be careful not to grip the propeller shaft tube too
tightly in the bise as this will be cause deformation.

PROPELLER SHAFT 4A-9


Phasing
The propeller shaft is designer and built with the yoke lugs
(ears) in line with each other. This design produces the
smoothest running shaft possible, called phasing. Vibration can
be caused by an out-of-phase propeller shaft. The propeller
shaft down each time the universal joint goes around. This
vibration would be the same as a person snapping rope and
watching the “wave” reaction flow to the end. A propeller shaft
working in phase would be similar to two persons snapping a
rope at the same time, and watching the “waves” meet and
cancel each other out. In comparison, this would be the same
as the universal joints on a propeller shaft. A total cancellation
of vibration produces a smooth flow of power in the driveline. It
is very important to apply a reference mark to the propeller
shaft before removal, to assure installation alignment.


401RW015
Universal Joint
A universal joint consists of two Y-shaped yokes
connected by a crossmember called a spider.
The spider is shaped like a cross. Universal joints are
designed to handle the effects of various loadings and
front or rear axle windup during acceleration. Within the
designed angle variations, the universal joint will operate
efficiently and safely. When the design angle is changed
or exceeded the operational life of the joint may decrease.
The bearings used in universal joints are of the needle
roller type. The needle rollers are held in place on the
trunnions by round bearing cups. The bearing cups are
held inside the yokes by snap rings.

Diagnosis of Propeller Shaft and
Universal Joint

Condition Possible cause Correction
Rough surface on splined yoke;
burred nicked or worn. Replace the seal. Minor burrs can
be Smoothed by careful use of
crocus cloth or fine stone honing.
Replace the yoke if badly burred. Leak at the Front Slip Yoke (An
Occasional Drop of Lubricant
Leaking from the Splined Yoke is
Normal)
Defective transmission rear oil seal. Replace the transmission rear oil
seal and replenish the transmission
oil.
Worn universal joint bearings. Replace.
Improper lubrication. Lubricate as directed.
Universal Joint Noise.
Loose flange bolts. Tighten to specifications.
Loose bushing bolts on the rear
springs or upper and lower control
arms. Tighten the bolts to specified
torque. Ping, Snap, or Click in Drive Line
(Usually Heard on Initial Load after
the Transmission is in Forward or
Reverse Gear)
Loose or out-of-phase end yoke. Remove end yoke, turn 180
degrees from its original position,
lubricate the splines and reinstall.
Tighten the bolts and pinion nut to
specified torque.
Squeak Lack of lubricant. Lubricate joints and splines. Also
check for worn or brinelled parts.
Loose or missing bolts at the
flanges. Replace or tighten bolts to specified
torque.
Incorrectly set front joint angle. Install shim under the transmission
support mount to change the front
joint angle.
Shudder on Acceleration (Low
Speed)
Worn universal joint. Replace.
Incorrect shaft runout. Replace.
Shaft out of balance. Adjust.
Transmission rear housing bushing,
transfer case housing bushing worn.Replace.
Vibration
Yoke spline jammed. Replace.
