Drive/Propeller Shaft: Procedures
Corrections of Absolute Angle of Propeller Shaft
Shop Made Spacer For Transmission Cross Member
Spacer Between Frame Floor And Propeller Shaft Intermediate Bearing
CORRECTION OF FRONT (angle 1) AND CENTER (angle 2) ARTICULATED ANGLES
-
Use spacers for correction of the articulated Angle on the transmission cross member or rear engine mount or on the propeller shaft intermediate
bearing
-
A 1 mm thick spacer changes the articulated angle by approximately 0.16°
NOTE:
^
Spacers are available as spare parts in thicknesses of 1 mm-4 mm.
^
When using a 2-5 mm thick spacer, increase the bolt length by 5 mm.
^
If a spacer greater than 5mm is required, check the rubber mounts of the engine or transmission, for wear, settling or damage, replace if necessary
CORRECTION OF REAR (angle 3) ARTICULATED ANGLE
-
In the example shown in Testing and Inspection, the front and center angles are within range. the rear angle is outside the tolerance range.
