NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the flexible coupling centering bushings.

HINT
The bolts should be installed from the propeller shaft assembly side.

(d) Align the matchmarks on the differential companion flange and flexible coupling.

HINT
Reuse any removed center support bearing washers.

2. FULLY TIGHTEN NO. 1 CENTER SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY

(a) Adjust the dimension (A) between the edge surface of the center support bearing and the edge surface of the cushion to 11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.4528 to 0.5315 in.) respectively as shown in the illustration.

(A):

11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.4528 to 0.5315 in.)

(b) Check that the center line of the bracket is perpendicular to the shaft axial direction.

Torque : 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft-lbf)

(d) Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut.

SST : 09922-10010

without SST - Torque : 69 Nm (700 kgf-cm, 51 ft-lbf)

with SST - Torque : 51 Nm (520 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf)

NOTICE:
Make sure to turn SST in the direction shown in the illustration.

HINT
* Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (1.13 ft.).
* Use 2 of the same SST.

3. INSPECT AND ADJUST BOTH NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLES

HINT
If any vibration or noise occurs, perform joint angle check as follows and replace the No. 2 center support bearing washer with a proper one.

(a) Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.

(1) Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing.

(2) Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize the differential mounting cushion.

NOTICE:
Measure the joint angle when the vehicle is raised using a four-post lift or when using a pit.

(b) Check both No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.

(1) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft assembly.

SST : 09370-50010

HINT
SST should be set directly on the bottom of the shaft.

(2) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.

SST : 09370-50010

Text in Illustration

HINT
Measure the installation angle by placing SST in the positions shown in the illustration.

(3) Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.

No. 2 joint angle:

A - B = -0°34' to -1°34'

A:

Intermediate shaft installation angle

B:

Propeller shaft installation angle

(4) Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

No. 3 joint angle:

B - C = 1°16' to 2°16'

B:

Propeller shaft installation angle

C:

Differential installation angle

HINT
If the measured angle is not within the specified range, adjust it with the center support bearing washers.

(c) Adjust the No. 2 joint angle.

(1) Select the center support bearing washers for adjustment.

Adjustment Washer

NOTICE:
* Make sure to use a washer of the same thickness on both right and left sides.
* Do not use 2 or more washers on a bolt.

4. INSTALL OUTSIDE AIR GUIDE PLATE RH

(a) Install the outside air guide plate RH with the 4 nuts.

Torque : 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf)

5. INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 FLOOR HEAT INSULATOR

(a) Install the front No. 1 floor heat insulator with the 4 nuts.

Torque : 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf)

6. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY Installation

7. INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE

(a) Install the front center floor brace with the 6 bolts.

Torque : 17 Nm (173 kgf-cm, 13 ft-lbf)

HINT
At this step, temporarily tighten the bolts at the end of the front center floor brace so they can be fully tightened after the rear body support bracket LH and rear body support bracket RH are installed.

8. INSTALL REAR BODY SUPPORT BRACKET LH

(a) Install the rear body support bracket LH with the 6 bolts.

Torque : 17 Nm (173 kgf-cm, 13 ft-lbf)

10. INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE

(a) Install the front center floor brace by tightening the end bolts shown in the illustration to the specified torque.

Torque : 17 Nm (173 kgf-cm, 13 ft-lbf)

11. INSTALL NO. 1 FLOOR UNDER COVER

(a) Install the No. 1 floor under cover with the 4 clips and screw.

12. INSTALL NO. 2 FLOOR UNDER COVER
