Multiple piece driveshafts

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Repeat this step for each center support bearing on the driveshaft.

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the U-joint snap ring, if equipped, for these measurements.

Using the special tool, measure the slope of the components in front and behind the center support bearing U-joint in the area indicated. Record the front component as angle A and the rear component as angle B.
