3 Series E36 318i (M44) SAL
Hold gauge 26 1 030 against front section of propeller shaft and
measure angle.
Determine deflection angle of joint disk,
(refer to Technical Data)
and, if necessary, correct on transmission suspension or centre
mount by installing shims (up to max. 3 mm).
This requires supporting transmission and unscrewing
crossmember from body.
Example:
Engine angle
2
°
16'
Propeller-shaft angle
2
°
06'
Joint-disk deflection angle
0
°
10'
Note:
When correcting a deflection angle by installing shims,
remember that deflection angles of adjacent joints will also
change.
In general, deflection angles of joints should be as small as
possible.
