CAUTION:

A. Use the hexagonal wrench to prevent damage of bolt head when removing bolts.

C. If the position and direction of the propeller shaft mounting bolts and washers are reversed, it may cause vibration and noise at high vehicle speeds due to imbalance in the propeller shaft.
D. If abnormal vibration and noise occur at high vehicle speeds after replacing propeller shaft with new one, balance the propeller shaft with a balancing machine.
