INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND PROPELLER SHAFT RUNOUT INSPECTION AND SPIDER INSPECTION




1. Inspect intermediate shaft and propeller shaft runout. Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of shafts.
Maximum runout: 0.8 mm (0.031 inch).
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller shaft assembly.




2. Inspect spider bearing.
- Check if the spider bearing rotates smoothly.
- Check if there is any play in the spider bearing.
If necessary, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
