Toyota Tundra. Manual — part 1057

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.

5. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE (for 3 Joint Type)

a. Measure the No. 1 joint angle.

1. Using SST, measure and record the angle of the intermediate shaft (C).

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)

NOTE:



Perform the inspection on a level surface.



Perform the inspection with the vehicle empty.



Perform the inspection with all wheels on the ground.
