General Description

Diagnosis

Possible Cause
• Loose universal joint bolt.
• Spider bearing worn out or stuck.
• Wear spider.
• Performed propeller shaft.

Propeller Shaft Joint Check

If universal joints are suspected of producing chattering or rattling
noise, inspect them for wear. Check to see if cross spider rattles
in yokes or if splines are worn down and replace defective propel-
ler shaft with new one.
Noise coming from universal joint can be easily distinguished
from other noises because rhythm of chattering or rattling is in
step with cruising speed. Noise is pronounced particularly on
standing start or in coasting condition (when braking effect of
engine is showing in the drive line).
Correction
Tighten universal joint bolt.
Replace.
