2. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY |
- HINT:
- When replacing a spider bearing, be sure that the grease fitting hole is facing the direction shown in the illustration.
- Fill the grease fittings with MP grease.

*a | Spider Grease Fitting Assembly Direction for Front Propeller Shaft Assembly | *b | Rear Side |
3. INSPECT FRONT PROPELLER SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER BEARING |
Check the spider bearings for wear or damage.
If necessary, replace the spider bearing.
Check the spider bearing axial play by turning the yoke while holding the shaft tightly.
- Maximum bearing axial play:
- 0.0 mm (0 in.)
