  3. INSPECT AND ADJUST NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLE (for Long Body)


    1. Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.


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

    2. Check the No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.


      1. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft.

        09370-50010

        Tech Tips

        SST should be set directly underneath the shaft.

      2. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.

        SST
        09370-50010

        Tech Tips

        Measure the installation angle by placing SST in the positions shown in the illustration.

      3. Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.

        No. 2 joint angle
        A - B = 0°28' to 1°22'
        A
        Intermediate shaft installation angle
        B
        Propeller shaft installation angle

      4. Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

        No. 3 joint angle
        B - C = 1°29' to 2°23'
        B
        Propeller shaft installation angle
        C
        Differential installation angle

        If the measured angle is not within the specified range, adjust it with the center support bearing washers.

    3. Adjust the No. 2 joint angle.
