      *a 90°

      Adjust the distance (A) between the surface of the center support bearing and the surface of the cushion to 11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.453 to 0.531 in.) as shown in illustration.

      Distance (A)
      11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.453 to 0.531 in.)

    2. Check that the center line of the bracket is at right angles to the shaft axial direction.

    3. for 2GR-FXE:

      Tighten the 2 center support bearing dampers.

      Torque:
      49 N*m  { 501 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf }

    4. for 2AR-FSE:

      Tighten the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      49 N*m  { 501 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf }

      *b Hold

      Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut.

      SST
      09922-10010
      Torque:
      without SST
      69 N*m  { 704 kgf*cm, 51 ft.*lbf }
      with SST
      47 N*m  { 479 kgf*cm, 35 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 34.5 cm (13.6 in.).

  3. INSPECT AND ADJUST NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLE

    Note

    Measure the joint angle when the vehicle is raised using a four-post lift or when using a pit.

    Tech Tips

    If any vibration or noise occurs, perform the joint angle check as follows and replace the No. 2 center support bearing washer with a proper one.


    1. Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.


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

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

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

      *a No. 2 Joint Angle *b No. 3 Joint Angle

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

        SST
        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°30' to 0°30'
        A
        Propeller intermediate shaft installation angle
        B
        Propeller shaft assembly installation angle

      4. Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

        No. 3 joint angle
        B - C = 0°42' to 1°42'
        B
        Propeller shaft assembly 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.


      1. Select the center support bearing washers for adjustment.

        Center Support Bearing Washer
        Part No. Thickness mm (in.)
        90201 - 10106 2.0 (0.0787)
        90201 - 10008 4.5 (0.1772)
        90201 - 10033 6.5 (0.2559)
        90201 - 10017 9.0 (0.3543)
        90201 - 10034 11.0 (0.4331)

        Note


        • Make sure to use a washer of the same thickness on both the right and left sides.

        • Do not use 2 or more washers on a bolt.
