Pinion Angle Inspection


Special Tools:






CAUTION: Prior to checking driveline angularity, inspect the U-joints for proper operation.

1. Raise and support the vehicle.
^ Normalize the suspension.

NOTE: Use a drive-on hoist or back onto a front end alignment rack.





2. Place the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer vertical so it is flush against two axle housing cover bolts.
3. Record the pinion angle. If the angle is out of specification, inspect the rear suspension for proper mounting.
