(d) Align the matchmarks on the propeller shaft flange and differential flange.
(e) Connect the propeller shaft to the differential side, and install the 4 bolts and 4 nuts.
Torque: 70 Nm (714 kgf-cm, 52 ft-lbf)
2. MEASURE EXTENSION HOUSING AND DIFFERENTIAL FLANGE ANGLE (for 3 Joint Type)
NOTICE:
- Perform the inspection on a level surface.
- Perform the inspection with the vehicle empty.
- Perform the inspection with all wheels on the ground.
HINT: As the extension housing and rear differential flange angles are necessary when measuring the installation angle of the propeller shaft, measure the angle of the extension housing and rear differential flange before installing the propeller shaft.

(a) Using SST, measure and record the angle of the extension housing flange (A).
SST: 09370-50010

(b) Using SST, measure and record the angle of the rear differential flange (B).
SST: 09370-50010
3. TEMPORARILY INSTALL PROPELLER WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT ASSEMBLY (for 3 Joint Type)

(a) Remove SST from the transmission.
SST: 09325-40010

(b) Remove SST from the transmission.
SST: 09325-60010
(c) Insert the sleeve yoke into the transmission.
(d) w/o Bearing Washer:

(1) Temporarily install the center support bearing to the crossmember with the 2 mounting bolts.
(e) w/ Bearing Washer:

(1) Temporarily install the center support bearing to the crossmember with the 2 bearing washers and 2 mounting bolts.

(f) Align the matchmarks on the propeller shaft flange and differential flange.
(g) Connect the propeller shaft to the differential side, and install the 4 bolts and 4 nuts.
Torque: 70 Nm (714 kgf-cm, 52 ft-lbf)
4. TIGHTEN PROPELLER WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT ASSEMBLY (for 3 Joint Type)
(a) With the vehicle empty and all 4 tires supported by a lift, or with the vehicle suspension in the full rebound position, adjust the center bearing so that dimension A (the distance from the front surface of the center bearing housing to the back surface of the intermediate shaft) is as shown in the chart below.
HINT: Measure dimension A (the distance from the front surface of the center bearing housing to the back surface of the intermediate shaft) at 3 places and make adjustments so that the measured dimensions are equal.

Standard dimension A:

*1: for 5 leaf spring
*2: includes Off road package

(b) Check that the center line of the bracket is at right angles to the shaft axial direction.
(c) Tighten the 2 mounting bolts.
Torque: 40 Nm (410 kgf-cm, 30 ft-lbf)
5. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE (for 3 Joint Type)
NOTICE:
- Perform the inspection on a level surface.
- Perform the inspection with the vehicle empty.
- Perform the inspection with all wheels on the ground.

(a) Measure the No. 1 joint angle.
(1) Using SST, measure and record the angle of the intermediate shaft (C).
SST: 09370-50010

(2) Subtract the angle of the extension housing flange (A) measured before installing the propeller shaft from the angle of the intermediate shaft (C) to calculate the No. 1 joint angle.
No. 1 joint angle:
Angle of intermediate shaft (C) - Angle of extension housing flange (A)
Measured Value (Reference):

HINT:
- Using the following chart, check if the calculated No. 1 joint angle is within the specified value.
- The tolerance is +/-0°60' (1.00°).

Standard No. 1 joint angle:

(2) Subtract the angle of the propeller shaft (D) from the angle of the intermediate shaft (C) to calculate the No. 2 joint angle.
No. 2 joint angle:
Angle of intermediate shaft (C) - Angle of propeller shaft (D)
Measured Value (Reference):

HINT:
- Using the following chart, check if the calculated No. 2 joint angle is within the specified value.
- The tolerance is +/-0°60' (1.00°).

Standard No. 2 joint angle:

*1: for 5 leaf spring
*2: includes Off road package
If the measured angle is not within the specification, adjust it with the bearing washer (See "Adjust Propeller Shaft Angle").

(c) Measure the No. 3 joint angle.
(1) Subtract the angle of the rear differential flange (B) measured before installing the propeller shaft from the angle of the propeller shaft (D) to calculate the No. 3 joint angle.
No. 3 joint angle:
Angle of propeller shaft (D) - Angle of rear differential flange (B)
Measured Value (Reference):

HINT:
- Using the following chart, check if the calculated No. 3 joint angle is within the specified value.
- The tolerance is +/-0°60' (1.00°).

Standard No. 3 joint angle:

*1: for 5 leaf spring
*2: includes Off road package
If the measured angle is not within the specification, adjust it with the bearing washer (See "Adjust Propeller Shaft Angle").

6. ADJUST PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE (for 3 Joint Type)
HINT: If the propeller shaft angle is outside the specification or there is vibration and noise, perform the propeller shaft adjustment using the following procedure.

(a) Adjust the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 joint angle.
(1) Support the propeller shaft with a jack.
(2) Remove the 2 center bearing mounting bolts.
(3) Slowly lower the jack, and disconnect the center bearing.
(4) Select an appropriate center support bearing washer thickness from the table below, and obtain a washer set.
Standard bearing washer thickness:

HINT:
- Each set contains 2 washers.
- Using the washer set, perform the adjustment.
- As a reference when selecting a bearing washer, the angle changes as follows for every 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) change in bearing washer thickness.
Angle variation for every 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) change in bearing washer thickness:
No. 1 joint angle
0°04' (0.06°)
No. 2 joint angle
0°07' (0.12°)
No. 3 joint angle
0°04' (0.06°)
