Q: How to Measure the Front and Rear Output Angles on a Drive Shaft on 2006 Jeep Commander?
A: For measuring the front (output) angle on a C/V front propeller shaft, set Inclinometer 7663 on the flange ring and for the propeller shaft angle, apply the inclinometer to the shaft tube. Take measurements for the rear (output) angle while staying with the transfer case/transmission flange. First, lift each axle as level as you can to let the wheels and propeller shaft rotate. If you have universal joint snap rings, detach them so the base will sit evenly and smoothly on the traction rack. Position the vehicle so the output yoke bearing cap is toward the ground. Do this starting from front to back and always on only one side of the vehicle, then take your measurements. Use the inclinometer to measure the angle of the yoke bearing cap or pinion flange ring, point it parallel to the shaft, center the bubble in the sight glass and make a note of the result to get the transmission or output yoke angle. Then, turn the propeller shaft 90 degrees and put the inclinometer on the yoke bearing cap or propeller shaft tube, parallel to the rotation. Adjust the bubble in the center and record the measurement which can also be done at the rear end of the shaft for the propeller shaft angle. The difference between the larger and smaller figure (C - A) gives you the transmission output angle. To measure the pinion shaft angle, rotate the propeller shaft again, put the inclinometer on the pinion yoke bearing cap facing the shaft and center the bubble to determine the angle shown on the scale. After that, take the larger figure away from the smaller (C minus B) to determine the axle Input Operating Angle. Good cancellation means that the operating angles of the U-joint system are within 3 degrees and those of the constant velocity joint are within 10 degrees, while a continuous operating angle for the propeller shaft is at least 1/2 of 1 degree.
