Drive Shaft Angle

  1. Measure ride height. See RIDE HEIGHT . Vehicle must be at curb weight (unloaded) condition. Specified pinion angles correspond to measured ride height. See Figure-Figure . Place protractor at any location along bottom of drive shaft. See Fig 1.
  2. Read and record angle. Subtract frame angle to obtain drive shaft angle. On Bronco, Pickup, and Van, adjust drive shaft angle by installing tapered shims between rear springs and rear spring seats. Information is not available from manufacturer for adjustment procedure on Aerostar, Explorer and Ranger.
