|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Inspect the propeller shaft for the following conditions:
Is the propeller shaft bent or damaged? | -- | ||||||
2 | Replace the propeller shaft. Is there still roughness or vibration? | -- | System OK | |||||
3 | Inspect for undercoating on the propeller shaft. Is there undercoating on the propeller shaft? | -- | ||||||
4 | Remove the undercoating from the propeller shaft. Is there still roughness or vibration? | -- | System OK | |||||
5 | Inspect the tires for the following conditions:
Do the above conditions exist? | -- | ||||||
6 | Balance the tires. Is there still roughness or vibration? | -- | System OK | |||||
7 | Inspect the universal joints for tightness. Are the universal joints tight? | -- | ||||||
8 | If the universal joints are equipped with snap rings, tap on the yokes with a hammer in order to free up the universal joints. If the joints cannot be freed up or if the joints feel rough, replace the joints. Is there still roughness or vibration? | -- | System OK | |||||
9 | Inspect the universal joints for wear. Are any of the universal joints worn? | -- | ||||||
10 | Replace the worn universal joint(s). Is there still roughness or vibration? | -- | System OK | |||||
11 | Inspect the fixed yoke for bending and inspect the flange for excessive runout. Does either of the above conditions exist? | -- | ||||||
12 | Replace the fixed yoke. Is there still roughness or vibration? | -- | System OK | |||||
13 | Inspect the propeller shaft for lack of balance. Is the propeller shaft unbalanced? | -- | ||||||
14 | Inspect for the missing balance weight on the propeller shaft. Rotate the shaft 180 degrees on the fixed yoke. Is there still roughness or vibration? | -- | System OK | |||||
15 | Inspect the universal joint for incorrect angle placement. Is the universal joint at an incorrect angle? | -- | ||||||
16 | Correct the universal joint angle. Is there still roughness or vibration? | -- | System OK | |||||
17 | Inspect the yokes and the flanges for the following conditions:
Are the yokes and/or the flanges damaged or distorted? | -- | ||||||
18 | Replace the yokes and/or the flanges. Is there still roughness or vibration? | -- | System OK | |||||
19 | Inspect the shaft for yokes that are out of phase. Are the yokes out of phase on the shaft? | -- | ||||||
20 | Replace the propeller shaft if the propeller shaft is a one-piece shaft. Reindex the propeller shaft if the propeller shaft is a two-piece shaft. Is there still roughness or vibration? | -- | System OK | |||||
21 | Inspect for driveline vibration during vehicle operation at a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Is there driveline vibration at the specified speed? | -- | -- | |||||
22 | Inspect the propeller shaft runout. Inspect for missing balance weights on the propeller shaft. Is there driveline vibration at the specified speed? | -- | -- | System OK |
