INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the compression spring.
| Minimum | 41.5 mm (1.63 in.) |
Tech Tips
If the length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Using a plastic-faced hammer and wooden block, tap in a new gasket until its surface is flush with the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly.
Note
Tap in the gasket in the correct direction.
Do not reuse the removed gasket.
Do not push in the gasket while installing the center exhaust pipe assembly.
Connect the 3 exhaust pipe supports, and install the center exhaust pipe assembly.
Install the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts.
INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the compression spring.
| Minimum | 40.5 mm (1.59 in.) |
Tech Tips
If the length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Using a plastic-faced hammer and wooden block, tap in a new gasket until its surface is flush with the center exhaust pipe assembly.
Note
Tap in the gasket in the correct direction.
Do not reuse the removed gasket.
Do not push in the gasket while installing the tail exhaust pipe assembly.
Connect the exhaust pipe support, and install the tail exhaust pipe assembly.
Install the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts.
TEMPORARILY TIGHTEN PROPELLER WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT ASSEMBLY (for 4WD)
Align the matchmarks on the propeller shaft flange and differential companion flange, and connect the shaft with the 4 bolts, 4 washers and 4 nuts.
Remove SST from the transaxle.
Insert the yoke into the transaxle.
Install the 4 adjusting shims and propeller shaft with center bearing, and temporarily tighten the 4 bolts.
Tighten the 4 bolts.
FULLY TIGHTEN PROPELLER WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT ASSEMBLY (for 4WD)
Remove the piece of cloth from the joint.
Using a hexagon wrench (6 mm), tighten the 6 bolts.
With the vehicle unloaded, adjust the dimension between the rear side of the cover and shaft as shown in the illustration.
| (A) |
|---|
| 58.0 +/- 0.5 mm (2.283 +/- 0.02 in.) |
Under the same condition as above, adjust the front and rear dimensions between the edge surface of the center support bearing and the edge surface of the cushion respectively as shown, and then tighten the bolts.
| (B) |
|---|
| 12.5 +/- 1.0 mm (0.492 +/- 0.039 in.) |
Check that the center line of the bracket is at the right angle in the shaft axial direction.
If any vibration or noise occurs, perform joint angle check as follows and replace the adjusting shim with a proper one.
Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearings.
Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize the differential mounting cushion.
Remove the transfer dynamic damper.
Using SST, measure the transfer installation angle (A) and front propeller shaft installation angle (B).
| No. 1 joint angle |
|---|
| (A) - (B) = -1.3° to -3.3° |
Using SST, measure the rear propeller shaft installation angle (C) and rear differential shaft installation angle (D).
| No. 2 joint angle |
|---|
| (C) - (D) = 1.8° to 3.5° |
Tech Tips
If the measured angle is not within the specification, adjust it with the center support bearing adjusting shim.
