- INSPECT AND ADJUST JOINT ANGLE NOTE:
Measure the joint angle when the vehicle is raised using a four-post lift or when using a pit.
HINT:
If any vibration or noise occurs, perform the joint angle check as follows and replace the center No. 2 support bearing washers with ones of the correct thickness.
- Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.
- Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearings.
- Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize the differential mounting cushion.
- Check the joint angles.
- Check the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.
*a No. 1 Joint Angle (A - B) *b No. 2 Joint Angle (B - C) *c No. 3 Joint Angle (C - D) *d 90° *e Straightedge *f Straightedge Contact Position - Using SST, measure the transfer assembly installation angle (A) and propeller shaft assembly installation angle (B), (C) and (D).
- SST: 09370-50010
