Drive/Propeller Shaft: Procedures
Propeller Shaft Angle
PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE
ONE PIECE PROPELLER SHAFT
This procedure applies to front and rear propeller shafts.
NOTE: To obtain output angle (A) on the front propeller shaft equipped with a C/V joint, place inclinometer on machined surface of the C/V
joint.
1. Raise vehicle and support the axles as level as possible, allowing the wheels and propeller shaft to turn.
2. Remove universal joint snap rings if equipped, so inclinometer base sits flat.
3. Rotate shaft until transmission/transfer case output yoke bearing is facing downward.
NOTE: Always take measurements from front to rear and on the same side of the vehicle.
4. Place Inclinometer 7663 on yoke bearing cap or pinion flange ring parallel to the shaft. Center bubble in sight glass and record measurement (A).
This measurement will give you the transmission yoke Output Angle (A).
5. Rotate propeller shaft 90 degrees and place Inclinometer on yoke bearing parallel to the shaft. Center bubble in sight glass and record
measurement. This measurement can also be taken at the rear end of the shaft.
