Measure the Inter-Axle Angle
Place the inclinometer or spirit level protractor on a smooth, fl at
portion of the driveline tubing to measure the inter-axle angle.
Figure 14.15. Do not measure over welds or balance weights.
The measurement will not be valid.
Fig. 14.15
If the driveline tubing is too short, place the edge of the
inclinometer or spirit level protractor vertically on the tube.
Subtract 90 degrees from the reading to determine the correct
angle. Figure 14.16.

Write your measurement in the Inter-Axle Angle box on the Data

Place the inclinometer or spirit level protractor on a spacer and
on the input yoke or on a smooth, fl at portion of the axle tube (the
"long" side, away from the bowl and near the suspension U-bolt) to
measure the rear axle angle. Figure 14.18 and Figure 14.19.
