PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE

This procedure applies to the front and rear propeller shaft. To obtain front (output) angle on the C/V front propeller shaft, place Inclinometer 7663 on the machined ring of the pinion flange. To obtain propeller shaft angle measurement on the C/V front propeller shaft, place inclinometer on the propeller shaft tube.

NOTE: Always make measurements from front to rear and from the same side of the vehicle.

RULES

Good cancellation of U-joint operating angles is within 1degree.

Operating angles less than 3 degrees.

Operating angles less than 10 degrees for double cardan U-joint.

At least 1/2 of one degree continuous operating (propeller shaft) angle.
