AR41.10-P-0086-05SX Correcting Rear Articulation Angle At Rear Axle Center Assembly

Correct the rear inclination angle (3)

Appropriate adjustment bushes for inclination angle correction at the rear axle differential are available as a replacement part.

Adjusting bushes are available with an eccentric hole graduation of 0.5 to 2.5 mm. 1 mm corresponds to a change in articulation angle of approx. 0.15°. The dimension of eccentricity is identified by the notches on the adjustment bushes. The notch points up or down depending on the required correction.

The table listed below provides information as to how the articulation angle determined changes when an adjusting bush without notch is fitted and this is then replaced by an adjusting bush with 1, 2 or 3 notches.

a 1 notch = 0.5 mm corresponds to approx. 0.08°
b 2 notches = 1.5 mm equivalent to approx. 0.23°
c 3 notches = 2.5 mm equivalent to approx. 0.38°
