2. INSPECT AND ADJUST BOTH NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLES

Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.

Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing.

Check both the No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.

Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft.

  • SST
  • 09370-50010
  • HINT:
  • The SST should be set directly on the bottom of the shaft.

Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.

  • SST
  • 09370-50010
  • HINT:
  • Measure the installation angle by placing the SST in the positions shown in the illustration.

Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.

  • No. 2 joint angle:
  • A - B = -1°13' to -0°13'
  • A:
  • Intermediate shaft installation angle
  • B:
  • Propeller shaft installation angle

Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

  • No. 3 joint angle:
  • B - C = 1°30' to 2°30'
  • B:
  • Propeller shaft installation angle
  • C:
  • Differential installation angle
  • HINT:
  • If the measured angle is not within the specified range, adjust it with the center support bearing washers.

Adjust the No. 2 joint angle .

Select the center support bearing washers for adjustment.
