Jeep Grand Cherokee WK. Manual - part 34
13. If the additional clamp causes an additional vibra-
tion, separate the first clamp (1) and second
clapm (2) (1/4 inch above and below the mark).
Repeat the vibration test.
14. Increase distance between the clamp screws and
repeat the test until the amount of vibration is at
the lowest level. Bend the slack end of the clamps
so the screws will not loosen.
15. If the vibration remains unacceptable, apply the
same steps to the front end of the propeller shaft.
16. Install the wheel and tires. Lower the vehicle.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE
To obtain front (output) angle on the C/V front propel-
ler shaft, place Inclinometer 7663 on the machined
ring of the pinion flange. To obtain propeller shaft
angle measurement on the C/V front propeller shaft,
place inclinometer on the propeller shaft tube. To
obtain rear (output) angle on rear propeller shaft use
transfer case/transmission flange.
1. Raise and support the vehicle at the axles as level
as possible. Allow the wheels and propeller shaft to
turn.
2. Remove universal joint snap rings if equipped, so
inclinometer base sits flat.
3. Rotate shaft until transmission/transfer case output
yoke bearing cap is facing downward.
NOTE: Always make measurements from front to
rear and from the same side of the vehicle.
4. Place inclinometer (1) on yoke bearing cap (2) or
pinion flange ring parallel to the shaft. Center bub-
ble in sight glass and record measurement. This
measurement will give you the transmission or Output Yoke Angle (A).
