Maximum runout:

0.4 mm (0.0157 in.)

NOTICE:

The dial indicator must be set at a right angle to the center of the intermediate shaft.

If the shaft runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly.

(b) Using a dial indicator, inspect the front side universal joint flange runout in the vertical direction.

Maximum runout:

0.1 mm (0.00394 in.)

If the flange runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly.

Maximum runout:

If the flange runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly.

(d) Using a dial indicator, inspect the rear side universal joint flange runout in the horizontal direction.

Maximum runout:

0.1 mm (0.00394 in.)

If the flange runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly.

3. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT
