The driveshaft is not subject to repair. If there is a noise or vibration of the driveshaft, check the accuracy of installation of the driveshaft. If adjustment does not fix a problem, it is necessary to replace all driveshaft. 
   During the work with the driveshaft the car has to be installed on the elevator or on a repair hole. 
Removal / installation 
   
 
 |   PERFORMANCE ORDER   | 
  
 
 
 
 
 |  1) remove the catalytic converter and an exhaust pipe | 
  
 
 |  2) tie up an exhaust pipe to a body on the right | 
  
 
 |  3) weaken bolts of a flange of the transmission, back differential and the central support | 
  
 
 | 4) install the tool 3139 on the driveshaft and tighten plastic nuts | 
  
 
 
  
 Prevention 
  The white point on a back flange of the driveshaft has to coincide with a black point on a flange of back differential at installation of the driveshaft. If these points are not visible, note mutual position of the driveshaft and a flange of back differential before removal of the driveshaft. 
  
  | 
  
 
 | 5) remove bolts of fastening of the driveshaft to a flange of the transmission and back differential | 
  
 
 | 6) prop up the driveshaft and the tool 3139 and remove bolts of the central support | 
  
 
 | 7) remove together the driveshaft and the tool 3139 | 
  
 
 | 8) installation is carried out upside-down removals | 
  
 
 
  
 Prevention 
  Do not bend the driveshaft. You store and transport it only in the straightened situation. 
  
  | 
  
 
 | 9) always check the accuracy of installation of the driveshaft after completion of installation |

 |   PERFORMANCE ORDER   | 
  
 
 
 
 
 |  1) move by means of the tool 3139 the driveshaft back against the stop | 
  
 
  | 
 2) note the provision of a fixing arm on a body (arrow A) | 
  
 
 |  3) move by means of the tool 3139 the driveshaft forward against the stop | 
  
 
 | 4) note the provision of a fixing arm on a body (arrow B) | 
  
 
 | 5) establish a fixing arm in the middle between two marks (an arrow C) | 
  
 
 | 6) establish bolts and washers of the required thickness, tighten bolts to 20 N. of m. | 
  
 
 | 7) remove the tool 3139 | 
  
 
 | 8) establish an exhaust pipe and the catalytic converter |
