X-Type (X400) V6-3.0L (2002)
6.
Measure and record the rear differential driveshaft locating flange inside diameter run-out (Illustration 2).
7.
If the inside diameter is greater than 94.076 mm or less than 94.030 mm and/or the run-out is greater than 0.12 mm, install a new drive pinion
flange and seal (see Workshop Manual, section: 205-02, SRO 51.25.13).
Note:
Ensure colored marks are aligned at the rear differential.
If the inside diameter is between 94.076 mm and 94.030 mm and/or the run-out is less than 0.12 mm, continue with the procedure below.
If the VVA still confirms a driveshaft vibration check the transfer case flange inside diameter and runout as described below:
CHECKING TRANSFER CASE FLANGE INSIDE DIAMETER AND RUN-OUT
1.
Raise vehicle on twin-post ramp.
2.
Remove driveshaft (see Global Technical Reference GTR Workshop Manual, section: 205-01).
3.
Clean the face of transfer case output flange.
4.
Use a suitable measuring device, to measure the inside diameter of the transfer case output flange (Illustration 3).
5.
Assemble a suitable magnetic base Dial Test Indicator (DTI) and mount to transfer case.
