Drive/Propeller Shaft: Adjustments
Coupling Shaft Angle Adjustment
Check coupling shaft angle (S/C only) and adjust to specification by shimming the driveshaft center bearing support or the transmission-to-rear
crossmember mount.
To decrease the coupling shaft angle:
Shim the driveshaft center bearing support using flat shims until the specified coupling shaft angle is obtained. Plate stock must be used to maintain
proper preload compression of the rubber insulator.
To increase the coupling shaft angle:
Place shims under the transmission-to-rear crossmember mount until the specified coupling shaft angle is obtained.
