1. Use a dial gauge to measure the runout of the propeller shaft at each position.
If it exceeds the maximum specification, replace the propeller shaft.
Maximum runout
0.6 mm {0.024 in}
2. Inspect the play and rotation of the joint by turning the universal joint in the direction shown by the arrow.Initial torque (Reference value)
0.29—0.98 N·m
{3.0—10 kgf·cm, 2.7—8.6 in·lbf}
If there is excessive play or initial torque, replace the propeller shaft.
