PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Propeller ShaftNDS00001
If propeller shaft is dropped, replace propeller shaft with new one.
Do not hit, impact, or damage tube.
If damage such as cracks or peeling off in sealing (joint between
yoke and tube) is found, replace propeller shaft with new one.
If there is chipping or bend in tube, replace propeller shaft with
new one.
Check that the clearance is between tube and yoke flange. If
there is no clearance, replace propeller shaft.
Protect propeller shaft with protector (special service tool) during
work.

On-Vehicle InspectionNDS00004
APPEARANCE AND NOISE INSPECTION
Check the propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.
If damage such as cracks or peeling off sealing (joint between
yoke and tube) is found, replace propeller shaft with new one.
Check that the gap is between tube and yoke flange. If there is
no gap, replace propeller shaft.
PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION
If vibration is present at high speed, inspect propeller shaft runout first.
1. Measure propeller shaft runout at runout measuring points by
rotating final drive companion flange with hands.
2. If runout still exceeds specifications, separate propeller shaft at
final drive companion flange; then rotate companion flange 90,
180, 270 degrees and install propeller shaft.
3. Check runout again. If runout still exceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly.
4. Check the vibration by driving vehicle.

Removal and InstallationNDS00006
REMOVAL
1. Set transmission to neutral position.
2. Release parking brake.
3. To keep space for removing propeller shaft, first detach rear-side
mounts (4 locations) of exhaust tube and main muffler. Then
lower exhaust tube and main muffler, and support them with jack
or equivalent. (See the figure.)
4. Attach protector (special service tool) to propeller shaft. (When
reused.)

5. Put matching marks on flange yoke with final drive companion
flange. (When reused.)
CAUTION:
For matching mark, use paint. Do not damage flange yoke
and companion flange.
6. Remove propeller shaft fixing bolts and nuts. Then propeller
shaft.
INSPECTION
Inspect propeller shaft runout at measuring points. If runout
exceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly.
Inspect journal axial play. If the play exceeds specifications,
replace propeller shaft assembly.
Check propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damage is
detected, replace propeller shaft assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble joints.

INSTALLATION
When Installing New Propeller Shaft
CAUTION:
When installing propeller shaft, handle it carefully.
Propeller shaft must be installed with packing material attached (delivered condition). Do not
install propeller shaft with packing material removed.
1. Insert propeller shaft with packing material between floor rein-
forcement and floor panel.
CAUTION:
After insertion, check that shift control boot does not come
off (M/T models).
2. Install propeller shaft while aligning its matching mark A with the
matching mark B on the joint as close as possible.
3. Temporarily tighten bolts and nuts.
4. Press down propeller shaft with matching mark C facing upward.
Then tighten fixing bolts and nuts to the specified torque. Refer
to PR-6, "
Components" .
5. Remove packing material from propeller shaft.
6. Return exhaust system to its original position. For tightening
torque, EX-3, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .
7. After assembly, perform a driving test to check propeller shaft
vibration. If vibration occurred, separate propeller shaft from
final drive. Reinstall companion flange after rotating it by 90,
180, 270 degrees. Then perform driving test and check propeller
shaft vibration again at each point.

When Installing Reused Propeller Shaft
CAUTION:
When installing propeller shaft, handle it carefully.
1. With protector (special service tool) attached, align matching marks to install propeller shaft to final drive
companion flange, and then tighten to specified torque. Refer to PR-6, "
Components" .
2. Remove protector (special service tool) from propeller shaft.
3. Return exhaust system to its original position. For tightening torque, EX-3, "
