Drive/Propeller Shaft: Testing and Inspection
NOTICE: When doing operations which involve the removal and installation of the propeller shaft, always check the joint. Make adjustments if
necessary.
JOINT ANGLE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Stabilize propeller shaft and differential.
a. Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing and flexible couplings.
b. Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize the differential mounting cushion.
2. Check joint angle of No.2 joint and No.3 joint.
a. Using Special Service Tool (SST) 09370-50010, or equivalent, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft.
HINT: The SST should be directly underneath the tube.
b. Using the SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.
HINT: Measure the installation angle by placing the SST in the position, as shown in the illustration.
