Component Identification
Lowering the propeller shaft center support bearing (4) not only changes the articulation angle of the rear propeller shaft at the front relative to the rear
propeller shaft at the rear (K4), but also changes the articulation angle of the transfer case relative to the rear propeller shaft at the front (K3) and the
articulation angle of the rear propeller shaft at the rear relative to the rear axle differential (K5). Therefore a complete check measurement must always
be carried out after an articulation angle correction.
1.1
Remove bolts (1), remove heat shield under the propeller shaft intermediate bearing (4) and unscrew the bolts of the propeller shaft
intermediate bearing (2), secure the propeller shaft if necessary.
2.1
Fabricate a propeller shaft center support bearing spacer plate (3) of required thickness to match the size of the propeller shaft center support
