GS 350 AWD V6-3.5L (2GR-FSE) (2009)
(g) Check that the center line of the bracket is at right angles to the shaft axial direction.
(h) Tighten the 2 bolts.
Torque: 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft-lbf)
2. INSPECT AND ADJUST NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLE
(a) Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.
(1) Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing.
(b) Check the No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.
(1) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft.
SST: 09370-50010
HINT: The SST should be set directly underneath the shaft.
(2) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.
SST: 09370-50010
HINT: Measure the installation angle by placing the SST in the position shown in the illustration.
(3) Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.
No. 2 joint angle:
A - B = 0°16' to 1°16'
A:
Intermediate shaft installation angle
B:
Propeller shaft installation angle
(4) Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.
No. 3 joint angle:
B - C = 0°55' to 1°55'
B:
Propeller shaft installation angle
C:
Differential installation angle
HINT: If the measured angle is not within the specified range, adjust it with the center support bearing washers.
(c) Adjust the No. 2 joint angle.
(1) Select the center support bearing washers for adjustment.
