Hyundai Tucson: Propeller Shaft Assembly / Propeller Shaft

- Components

1. Front propeller shaft
2. Center bearing bracket

3. Rear propeller shaft

- Removal

   

• When lifting a vehicle using a lift, be careful not to damage the lower parts of the vehicle (floor under cover, fuel filter, fuel tank, canister).(Refer to General Information - "Lift and Support Points")

1.After making a match mark on the flange yoke and transaxle companion, remove the propeller shaft mounting bolts (A).

Tightening torque : 49.0 - 68.6 N.m(5.0 - 7.0 kgf.m, 36.2 - 50.6 lb-ft)

   

• Use a hexagon socket to prevent damage to the head when removing and installing bolts.

• Mark the location and direction of bolt and washer before removing the propeller shaft.

• Installing the bolt and washer differently from the initial state can result in unbalanced propeller shaft causing abnormal vibration of propeller shaft at high speed.

• If abnormal vibration and noise occur at high vehicle speeds after replacing propeller shaft with a new one, balance the propeller shaft with a balancing machine.

• The bolt is a special bolt applied with bond, so do not reuse.

2.Remove the bracket (A) after loosening the mounting bolts.

3.Loosen the center bearing bracket mounting bolts (A).

Tightening torque : 49.0 - 68.6 N.m(5.0 - 7.0 kgf.m, 36.2 - 50.6 lb-ft)

   

• Mark the location and direction of bolt and washer before removing the propeller shaft.

• Installing the bolt and washer differently from the initial state can result in unbalanced propeller shaft causing abnormal vibration of propeller shaft at high speed.

4.After making a match mark on the constant velocity joint and rear differential companion, remove the propeller shaft mounting bolts (A).
