Propeller Shaft Assembly -- Installation

1. TEMPORARILY INSTALL PROPELLER SHAFT WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT ASSEMBLY

Align the matchmarks of the transfer and propeller shaft.

Temporarily install the propeller shaft with center bearing with the 4 nuts and 4 washers.

Align the matchmarks of the differential carrier and propeller shaft.

Temporarily install the propeller shaft with center bearing with the 4 nuts and 4 washers.

Toyota Rav4. Aca30, 33, 38 Gsa33 Zsa30, 35

Temporarily install the center support bearing and center support bearing washer with the 2 bolts.

2. TIGHTEN PROPELLER SHAFT WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT ASSEMBLY

Tighten the 4 nuts of the propeller shaft and transfer to the torque specification.
Torque:
35 N*m{357 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*lbf}

Tighten the 4 nuts of the propeller shaft and differential carrier to the torque specification.
Torque:
35 N*m{357 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*lbf}

Check that the center line of the center support bearing housing is perpendicular to the axis of the propeller shaft.

Tighten the 2 bolts of the center support bearing to the torque specification.
Torque:
37 N*m{375 kgf*cm, 27 ft.*lbf}

3. INSPECT JOINT ANGLE

NOTICE:

Perform the measurement with a 4 post lift or pit so that the vehicle is supported by all 4 wheels as if it were on the ground.

Before the angle measurement, stabilize each part by performing procedures like those described below.
1. Rotate the propeller shaft several times by hand.
2. Set the jack to the differential, and raise and lower the differential.

Using SST and a straightedge, measure the angle of the transfer flange (angle D) and the angle of the intermediate shaft (angle A).
SST
09370-50010
NOTICE:
Make sure the straightedge and SST are at a right angle.
1. Subtract the measured angle of the intermediate shaft (angle A) from the measured angle of the transfer flange (angle D) to obtain the No. 1 joint angle.
  No. 1 Joint Angle:
  Measurement Position
  No. 1 Joint Angle
  D - A
  2°27' +/-60'

Using SST, measure the angle of the intermediate shaft (angle A) and the angle of the propeller shaft (angle B).

SST: 09370-50010

Subtract the measured angle of the propeller shaft (angle B) from the measured angle of the intermediate shaft (angle A) to obtain the No. 2 joint angle.

No. 2 Joint Angle:

Measurement Position	Engine	Transmission	No. 2 Joint Angle
A - B	1AZ-FE	A/T	1°29' +/-1°30'
	1AZ-FE	M/T	1°28' +/-1°30'
	2AZ-FE	A/T	1°35' +/-1°30'
	2AZ-FE	M/T	1°34' +/-1°30'
	2GR-FE	A/T	1°35' +/-1°30'
	3ZR-FAE	M/T	1°28' +/-1°30'
	3ZR-FAE	CVT	1°29' +/-1°30'
	2AD-FTV 2AD-FHV	M/T	1°29' +/-1°30'

Using SST, measure the angle of the propeller shaft (angle B) and the angle of the rear differential (angle C).

SST: 09370-50010

Subtract the measured angle of the propeller shaft (angle B) from the measured angle of the rear differential (angle C) to obtain the No. 3 joint angle.

No. 3 Joint Angle:

Measurement Position	Engine	Transmission	No. 3 Joint Angle
B - C	1AZ-FE	A/T	2°10' +/-60'
	1AZ-FE	M/T	2°11' +/-60'
	2AZ-FE	A/T	2°04' +/-60'
	2AZ-FE	M/T	2°04' +/-60'
	2GR-FE	A/T	2°04' +/-60'
	3ZR-FAE	M/T	2°11' +/-60'
	3ZR-FAE	CVT	2°11' +/-60'
	2AD-FTV 2AD-FHV	M/T	2°10' +/-60'
