Refer to rules given below and the example in for additional information.

Good cancellation of U-Joint operating angles (within 1°).
-
Operating angles less than 3°.
-
At least 1/2 of one degree continuous operating (propeller shaft) angle.
Two-Piece Propeller Shaft
Fig. 11
The procedure to measure the propeller shaft angles involved with a two-piece propeller shaft is the same as those for a one-piece propeller shaft. The
following additional conditions also apply:
-
The front half-shaft must be parallel to the rear axle pinion gear shaft.
-
The front and rear half-shafts must be offset by a minimum of 1/2 of a degree. From the transmission/transfer case output shaft and from each
other.
-
Excessive variation in measurement angles of A, B or C indicate propeller mix-alignment.
-
Vertical alignment of a two-piece shaft at the yokes should be greater than one-half degree and as close to one degree as possible.
