f. Install the propeller shaft to the differential side with the 4 bolts and 4 nuts.

Torque: 70 N*m (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.

2. Subtract the angle of the transfer 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 transfer flange (A)
