REAR PROPELLER SHAFT

REAR PROPELLER SHAFT : Inspection

INFOID:0000000001095800

NOISE

• Check the propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.
• If center bearing is noisy or damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

VIBRATION

If vibration is present at high speed, inspect propeller shaft runout first.
1.

Measure propeller shaft runout at runout measuring points by
rotating final drive companion flange with hands.

2.

If runout still exceeds specifications, separate propeller shaft at
final drive companion flange or transfer companion flange; then
rotate companion flange 90, 180, 270 degrees and install pro-
peller shaft.

3.

Check runout again. If runout still exceeds specifications,
replace propeller shaft assembly.

4.

Check the vibration by driving vehicle.

RUNOUT MEASURING POINT

Propeller shaft runout measuring point (Point “ ”).

• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by divid-

ing the work two to three times in order to prevent the
wheels from developing any distortion.

• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding

the criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.

• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
