Driveshaft Angle Inspection

Special Tools:

CAUTION: Prior to checking driveling angularity, inspect the U-joints for proper operation.

1. Note: Use a drive-on hoist or back onto a front end alignment rack.

Raise and support the vehicle.
^ Normalize the suspension.
2. Inspect the suspension and chassis. Verify that the vehicle ride height is within specification.





3. With the vehicle empty and all fluids full, measure at the bottom of the frame rail and verify that the curb position ride height angle is within specification.
^ Curb position ride height is 128.6 mm (5.14 inch)





4. Place the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer flush against the driveshaft.
5. Record the reading and subtract the angle of the surface supporting the vehicle to obtain the correct driveshaft angle.
