DRIVE SHAFT / PROPELLER SHAFT: PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY (for 4GR-FSE): INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL PROPELLER SHAFT WITH CENTER BEARING ASSEMBLY (for Automatic Transmission)

(a) Remove SST from the transmission.

SST : 09325-40010

(b) Insert the yoke of the intermediate shaft into the transmission.

NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the oil seal.

(c) Install the 2 center support bearing washers and center support bearing.

(d) Temporarily tighten the 2 bolts.

(e) Align the matchmarks on the propeller shaft flange and differential companion flange, and connect the shaft with the 4 bolts, washers and nuts.

Torque : 74 Nm (750 kgf-cm, 54 ft-lbf)

Text in Illustration

(f) 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.) as shown in illustration.

(A):

11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.4528 to 0.5315 in.)

Text in Illustration

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

(h) Tighten the 2 bolts.

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

2. INSTALL PROPELLER SHAFT WITH CENTER BEARING ASSEMBLY (for Manual Transmission)

(a) Remove SST from the transmission.

SST : 09325-20010

(b) Insert the yoke of the intermediate shaft into the transmission.

NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the oil seal.

(c) Install the 2 center support bearing washers, center support bearing and 2 center support bearing dampers.

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

(h) Tighten the 2 bolts.

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

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.

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

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 = -1°09' to -0°09'

A:

Intermediate shaft installation angle

B:

Propeller shaft installation angle

(4) Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

No. 3 joint angle:

B - C = 1°12' to 2°12'

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 (for Manual Transmission)

Adjustment Washer (for Automatic Transmission)

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 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)

5. 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)

6. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY Installation
