- Inspect the transmission mount for excessive wear, damage, and/or
deformities which may be altering the driveline working angle. If the transmission
mount exhibited any of these conditions, the mount requires replacement.
- Inspect the rear drive axle damping bushings for excessive wear
and/or damage which may be altering the driveline working angle. If the rear
drive axle damping bushings exhibited any of these conditions, the bushings
require replacement.
- Inspect the propeller shaft support bearing assembly for damaged
rubber components, worn bearings, and/or a deformed/cracked bracket which
could be affecting the angle of the propeller shafts. If the support bearing
assembly exhibited any of these conditions, it requires replacement.
- Inspect the propeller shaft support bearing assembly for loose
or missing shims. Reinstall correctly or replace any shims as necessary to
ensure proper alignment of the support bearing assembly.
- If the U-joint working angle still requires adjustment, perform
the following steps:
| • | In order to increase the working angle, add shims between the
support bearing mounting bracket and the vehicle underbody. |
| • | In order to decrease the working angle, add shims between the
support bearing and the support bearing mounting bracket. |
