DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ment parts helps to ensure safe operation. All fasten-
ers must be torqued to the specified values for safe
operation.
Also make alignment reference marks (Fig. 1) on
the propeller shaft yoke and axle, or transmission,
yoke prior to servicing. This helps to eliminate possi-
ble vibration.
PROPELLER SHAFT
DESCRIPTION
A propeller shaft (Fig. 2) is the shaft which con-
nects the transmission/transfer case to the axle dif-
ferential. This is the link through which the engine
power is transmitted to the axle.
The propeller shaft is designed and built with the
yoke lugs in line with each other which is called zero
phasing. This design produces the smoothest running
condition, an out-of-phase shaft can cause a vibra-
tion.
Tubular propeller shafts are balanced by the man-
ufacturer with weights spot welded to the tube.
CAUTION: Do not allow the propeller shaft to drop
or hang from any propeller shaft joint during
removal. Attach the propeller shaft to the vehicle
underside with wire to prevent damage to the joints.
OPERATION
The propeller shaft must operate through con-
stantly changing relative angles between the trans-
mission and axle when going over various road
surfaces. It must also be capable of changing length
while transmitting torque. The axle rides suspended
by springs in a floating motion.This is accomplished
through universal joints, which permit the propeller

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
Before undercoating a vehicle, the propeller
shaft and the U-joints should be covered to pre-
vent an out-of-balance condition and driveline
vibration.
CAUTION: Use original equipment replacement
parts for attaching the propeller shafts. The speci-
fied torque must always be applied when tightening
the fasteners.
PROPELLER SHAFT JOINTS
DESCRIPTION
Two different types of propeller shaft joints are
used:
²
Single cardan universal joint (Fig. 3)
Fig. 1 Reference Marks on Yokes

Double cardan (CV) universal joint (Fig. 4)

becomes worn or damaged, the complete universal
joint assembly must be replaced.

yokes) permit contraction or expansion (Fig. 2).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
PROPELLER SHAFT JOINT ANGLE
DESCRIPTION
When two shafts come together at a common joint,
the bend that is formed is called the operating angle.
The larger the angle, the larger the amount of angu-
lar acceleration and deceleration of the joint. This
speeding up and slowing down of the joint must be
cancelled to produce a smooth power flow.
OPERATION
This cancellation is done through the phasing of a
propeller shaft and ensuring that the proper propel-
ler shaft joint working angles are maintained.
A propeller shaft is properly phased when the yoke
ends are in the same plane, or in line. A twisted
shaft will make the yokes out of phase and cause a
noticeable vibration.
When taking propeller shaft joint angle measure-
ments, or checking the phasing, of two piece shafts,
consider each shaft separately.
Ideally the driveline system should have;

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Propeller shaft speed (rpm) is the main factor in
determining the maximum allowable operating angle.
As a guide to the maximum normal operating angles
refer to (Fig. 5).
VIBRATION
Tires that are out-of-round, or wheels that are
unbalanced, will cause a low frequency vibration.
Refer to Group 22, Tires and Wheels, for additional
information.
Brake drums that are unbalanced will cause a
harsh, low frequency vibration. Refer to Group 5,
Brakes, for additional information.
Driveline vibration can also result from loose or
damaged engine mounts. Refer to Group 9, Engines,
for additional information.
Propeller shaft vibration increases as the vehicle
speed is increased. A vibration that occurs within a
specific speed range is not usually caused by a pro-
peller shaft being unbalanced. Defective universal
joints, or an incorrect propeller shaft angle, are usu-
ally the cause of such a vibration.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
UNBALANCE
NOTE: Removing and re-indexing the propeller
shaft 180° relative to the yoke may eliminate some
vibrations.
If propeller shaft is suspected of being unbalanced,
it can be verified with the following procedure:
(1) Raise the vehicle.
(2) Clean all the foreign material from the propel-
ler shaft and the universal joints.
(3) Inspect the propeller shaft for missing balance
weights, broken welds, and bent areas.
If the pro-
peller shaft is bent, it must be replaced.
(4) Inspect the universal joints to ensure that they
are not worn, are properly installed, and are cor-
rectly aligned with the shaft.
(5) Check the universal joint clamp screws torque.
(6) Remove the wheels and tires. Install the wheel
lug nuts to retain the brake drums or rotors.
(7) Mark and number the shaft six inches from the
yoke end at four positions 90° apart.
(8) Run and accelerate the vehicle until vibration
occurs. Note the intensity and speed the vibration
occurred. Stop the engine.
(9) Install a screw clamp at position 1 (Fig. 6).
Fig. 7 Two Clamp Screws At The Same Position
(13) If the additional clamp causes an additional
vibration, separate the clamps (1/4 inch above and
below the mark). Repeat the vibration test (Fig. 8).

(14) Increase distance between the clamp screws
and repeat the test until the amount of vibration is
at the lowest level. Bend the slack end of the clamps
so the screws will not loosen.
(15) If the vibration remains unacceptable, apply
the same steps to the front end of the propeller shaft.
(16) Install the wheel and tires. Lower the vehicle.

RUNOUT
(1) Remove dirt, rust, paint, and undercoating
from the propeller shaft surface where the dial indi-
cator will contact the shaft.
(2) The dial indicator must be installed perpendic-
ular to the shaft surface.
(3) Measure runout at the center and ends of the
shaft sufficiently far away from weld areas to ensure
that the effects of the weld process will not enter into
the measurements.
(10) Start the engine and re-check for vibration. If
there is little or no change in vibration, move the
clamp to one of the other three positions. Repeat the
vibration test.
(11) If there is no difference in vibration at the
other positions, the source of the vibration may not
be propeller shaft.
(12) If the vibration decreased, install a second
clamp (Fig. 7) and repeat the test.
