    3. A017BGHE01

      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.)

    4. 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.

      Torque:
      37 N*m  { 375 kgf*cm, 27 ft.*lbf }
      (B)
      12.5 +/- 1.0 mm (0.492 +/- 0.039 in.)

    5. Check that the center line of the bracket is at the right angle in the shaft axial direction.

    6. If any vibration or noise occurs, perform joint angle check as follows and replace the adjusting shim with a proper one.


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

      2. Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize the differential mounting cushion.

      3. Remove the transfer dynamic damper.

      4. Using SST, measure the transfer installation angle (A) and front propeller shaft installation angle (B).

        SST
        09370-50010
        No. 1 joint angle
        (A) - (B) = -1.3° to -3.3°

      5. Using SST, measure the rear propeller shaft installation angle (C) and rear differential shaft installation angle (D).

        SST
        09370-50010
        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.

        Center support bearing adjusting shim thickness
        Thickness mm (in.) Thickness mm (in.)
        3.2 (0.126) 11.0 (0.433)
        4.5 (0.177) 13.5 (0.531)
        6.5 (0.256) 15.5 (0.610)
        9.0 (0.354) 17.5 (0.689)

      6. Install the transfer dynamic damper.
