SUBJECT: Propeller Shaft- High-Pitched Sound from Center Support Bearing

 

INTRODUCTION:

This bulletin announces the availability of new propeller shaft assemblies.  The new parts incorporate a production change made to address a small number of reports describing a high-pitched, squeal-type sound heard under certain low-speed driving conditions in colder temperatures ( ~20 mph in midteens F).  The center support bearing has been identified as the source of the sound.  New bearings with additional grease capacity have been incorporated to address the concern.  If the condition is confirmed, the propeller shaft assembly must be replaced as the center support component is not a serviceable part.

 

PRODUCTION CHANGE INFORMATION:

The new propeller shaft assemblies were incorporated into production on 12/13/2019 as follows:

 

PART INFORMATION:

REMINDER: Always order the most up-to-date replacement parts based on the specific VIN being repaired.

Description  Part Number Application
Propeller Shaft Assembly 27111AL00E Legacy 3.6L
27111FL05C Impreza w/ MT
27111FL04C Impreza w/ CVT
27111XC00C Ascent

 

NOTE:  This bulletin will be revised with additional applicability information as it becomes available.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION:

REMINDER:  Customer satisfaction and retention starts with performing quality repairs.

 

Helpful TIPs:

  • The 2 center support bolts and the 4 bolt / nut assemblies securing the propeller shaft flange to the rear differential input yoke are reusable.
  • The Torque specification for the 2- center support bolts is 52 Nm (28.4 ft. lbs.)
  • The Torque specification for the 4- propeller shaft to input yoke bolts is 31 Nm (23 ft. lbs.)
  • Mark the joint between the propeller shaft flange and input yoke as shown below (A) so the shaft is properly indexed at reassembly.

The remainder of the service procedures for propeller shaft replacement remain unchanged.  Always refer to the applicable Service Manual and review the full requirements of the repair being performed.  The Service Manual procedures contain information critical to performing an effective repair the first time, every time.  This includes but is not limited to important SAFETY precautions, proper inspection criteria, necessary special tools and required processes needed for a complete and lasting repair.
