| Measure | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| The vehicle must be standing on its wheels for the measurement. | |||
| The transmission mount and exhaust system must not be stressed during the measurement of the articulated angle | Eliminate the stress if necessary. | ||
| On vehicles suffering from drive train vibrations or roughness during acceleration, the cause may be that the propeller shaft deviates from the specified value | |||
