INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY

Visually check the propeller shaft assembly.

A01KEYD

Using a dial indicator, inspect the runout of the shaft tube.

Standard

Shaft Tube Length	Maximum Runout
800 mm (31.50 in.) or more	0.4 mm (0.016 in.)
Less than 800 mm (31.50 in.)	0.3 mm (0.012 in.)

If the shaft runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller shaft assembly.

INSPECT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY
1. Check that the spider bearing rotates smoothly.
2. Check that there is no play in the spider bearing.
3. Using a spring tension gauge, hang the hook of the spring tension gauge in a bolt hole of the flange yoke and measure the rotating force.
  
  Standard
  
  1.1 N*m (11.2 kgf*cm, 9.7 in.*lbf) or less
  Note
  - Measurement of the rotating force should be done at 2 positions for each universal joint by 90° in opposite directions (flange yoke side and end yoke side).
  - When it exceeds the standard, use a thinner snap ring.
