Driveshaft Alignment

Before adjusting components for correct driveshaft alignment, be sure to check the following:

1. Alignment of drivelines must be accomplished with the empty vehicle sitting on a hard level surface.

2. All angle measurements must be made on a surface or the component which is either parallel to or perpendicular to the center line of the component being measured.

3. Angle measurements must be made with either a spirit level or an inclinometer. Angle values given in General Driveshaft Service are nominal values with a tolerance of ± 1/4°.
