	Measure
	Notes on self-locking nuts and bolts		AH00.00-N-0001-01A
		The vehicle must be on its wheels for the measurement.
		The transmission mounts and exhaust system must not be stressed during the inclination angle measurement If necessary, relieve the stress in the transmission mounts/ exhaust system. To relieve the stress in the transmission mounts, loosen the left and right engine mount as well as the rear engine crossmember, align and tighten again.
		On vehicles which are the subject of complaint on account of driveline vibrations or roughness when accelerating, the cause may be a deviation of the articulation angle from the specified value.
1.1	Drive the vehicle onto a suitable pit and secure using the parking brake
1.2	Drive vehicle onto a measuring lifting platform, secure with the parking brake and lift up
2	Detach lower engine compartment paneling from transmission	Vehicles without code (Z07) Top protection	AR61.20-P-1105SX
2	Detach lower engine compartment paneling from transmission	Vehicles with code (Z07) Top protection	AR61.20-P-1105SXS
3	Prepare articulation angle meter	The following measurement can be carried out using two different measuring instruments. Electronic propeller shaft inclinometer, electronic combination measuring instrument	AR41.10-P-0086-02P
4	Check articulation angle meter, adjust if necessary	To check and adjust, see equipment operator's manual.
5	Measure angle at transmission		AR41.10-P-0085-01SX
6	Measure angle at front and rear propeller shaft		AR41.10-P-0085-02SX
