AR41.10-P-0085A Measure Propeller Shaft Alignment With Mechanical Angle Meter

Measure Propeller Shaft Alignment With Mechanical Propeller Shaft Articulation Angle Meter
- with transmission 717, 722







CAUTION:
- The vehicle must be standing on its wheels for the measurement
- Transmission suspension and exhaust system must not be under stress when the articulation angle is measured
- Relieve the stress if necessary

NOTE: Complaints about drive train vibrations or uneven acceleration may be caused by a deviation of the propeller shaft articulation angle from the specified value

1 Detach engine encapsulation
- Only model 202.1
2 Measure and note down absolute angle at transmission
- Only vehicles with 4 or 5-speed manual transmission and automatic transmission
3 Measure and note down absolute angle at front and rear propeller shaft
4 Measure and note absolute angle at rear axle housing
5 Calculate front, (41), center (42) and rear articulation angles(43) and correct if necessary
- Front articulation angle from transmission to front propeller shaft (41)
- Center articulation angle from front propeller shaft to rear propeller shaft (42)
- Rear articulation angle from rear propeller shaft to rear axle center assembly (43)
- Articulation angle from front propeller shaft to intermediate shaft
- Articulation angle from intermediate shaft to rear propeller shaft

NOTE:
- If the articulation angle requires correction, perform necessary assembly work.
- Carry out a check measurement again each time the articulation angle is corrected.
