PINPOINT TEST G544822p1: DRIVESHAFT ALIGNMENT
PINPOINT TEST G544822p1: DRIVESHAFT ALIGNMENTG544822t2: CHECK DRIVESHAFT COMPOUND ANGLE
1. Remove exhaust system and center heat shield.
Place inclinometer (special tool number 501-F007) on flat surface and calibrate. 3.
Using the inclinometer check the angle of the driveshaft rearwards of the center bearing and note the reading (reading one) 4.
Check the angle of the driveshaft forward of the center bearing and note the reading (reading two). Subtract reading two from reading one to obtain the compound angle of the driveshaft. The correct specification for the driveshaft compound angle is 1.1° ± 0.3'
^ Is driveshaft compound angle correct?
-> Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test G544822t3. PINPOINT TEST G544822p2: EXCESSIVE DRIVELINE NOISE
-> No
Adjust driveshaft center bearing height by adding or removing shims (refer to parts catalogue for selection of shims available) and re-check compound angle. GO to Pinpoint Test G544822t3.
G544822t3: CHECK CENTER BEARING ALIGNMENT
1. Check the center bearing is aligned at 90° to front section of driveshaft.
^ Is the center bearing aligned correctly?
-> Yes
Driveshaft alignment is correct. Install center heat shield and exhaust system.
-> No
Undo but do not remove center bearing bolts, align center bearing to front section of driveshaft, tighten bolts to correct torque.
Specifications Install center heat shield and exhaust system.
