Propeller Shaft Vibration EDS00121

If vibration is present at high speed, inspect propeller shaft runout first.

1. Raise rear end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground.
2. Measure propeller shaft runout at several points along propeller
shaft by rotating final drive companion flange with hands.
Runout limit : 0.6 mm (0.024 in)

3. If runout exceeds specifications, disconnect propeller shaft at final drive companion flange; then rotate
companion flange 180 degrees and reconnect propeller shaft.
4. Check runout again. If runout still exceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly. E
5. Perform road test.
Appearance Checking EDS00122
F
● Inspect propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks.
If damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.
● If center bearing is noisy or damaged, replace center bearing. G
