INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY
Using a dial indicator, check the propeller shaft runout.
| Maximum runout |
|---|
| for 1KD-FTV, 2TR-FE, 5L-E : 0.3 mm (0.0118 in.) |
| for 1GR-FE : 0.4 mm (0.0157 in.) |
If the shaft runout is more than the maximum, replace the propeller shaft.
INSPECT REAR PROPELLER SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER BEARING
Note
Be careful not to grip the propeller shaft tube too tightly in a vise as this will cause deformation.
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 mm (0 in.) |
If the axial play is more than the maximum, replace the spider bearing.
