NOTICE:

Perform the measurement with a 4 post lift or pit so that the vehicle is supported by all 4 wheels as if it were on the ground.


a.

Before the angle measurement, stabilize each part by performing procedures like those described below.

i.

Rotate the propeller shaft several times by hand.


ii.

Set the jack to the differential, and raise and lower the differential.



b.

Using SST and a straightedge, measure the angle of the transfer flange (angle D) and the angle of the intermediate shaft (angle A).

SST
09370-50010  

NOTICE:

Make sure the straightedge and SST are at a right angle.
