1. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft.
  
  SST
  
  09370-50010
  
  Tech Tips
  
  The SST should be set directly on the bottom of the shaft.
2. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.
  
  SST
  
  09370-50010
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Measure the installation angle by placing SST in the positions shown in the illustration.
3. Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.
  
  No. 2 joint angle
  
  A - B = -0°19' to -1°19'
  
  A
  
  Intermediate shaft installation angle
  
  B
  
  Propeller shaft installation angle
4. Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.
  
  No. 3 joint angle
  
  B - C = 1°07' to 2°07'
  
  B
  
  Propeller shaft installation angle
  
  C
  
  Differential installation angle
  
  Tech Tips
  
  If the measured angle is not within the specified range, adjust it with the center support bearing washers.

No. 2 joint angle
A - B = -0°19' to -1°19'

A
Intermediate shaft installation angle

B
Propeller shaft installation angle

No. 3 joint angle
B - C = 1°07' to 2°07'

B
