The inclination angles are calculated from the difference between the respective measured absolute angles.
Front articulation angle (1) :
Transmission to front propeller shaft
Center articulation angle (2):
Front to rear propeller shaft
Rear articulation angle (3):
Rear propeller shaft to rear axle differential
Calculate articulation angle:
The angle is positive (+) if the first absolute angle measured is smaller than the second angle measured. The angle is negative (-) if the second absolute angle measured is smaller than the first angle measured.
Calculation example: (1° equivalent to 60')
1 Calculate front articulation angle (1):
Absolute angle measured at transmission = 1° 55'
Absolute angle measured at front propeller shaft = 2° 10'
This results in an articulation angle difference of +0° 15'.
2 Calculate center articulation angle (2) :
Absolute angle measured at front propeller shaft = 2° 10'
Absolute angle measured at rear propeller shaft = 2° 45'
This results in an articulation angle difference of +0° 35'.
3 Calculate rear articulation angle (3) :
Absolute angle measured at rear propeller shaft = 2° 45'
Absolute angle measured at rear axle = 2° 40'
This results in an articulation angle difference of - 0° 05'.
All articulation angle differences should be as close as possible to the center of the relevant tolerance range.

Correcting rear articulation angle (3):
In the example, the front and center articulation angles (1, 2) are within the tolerance range, but the rear articulation angle (3) is outside the tolerance range.
To correct the rear articulation angle (3), fit a shim of 2 mm thickness between the rear axle housing and rubber mount, in addition to any existing shims (arrow).
A 1 mm thick shim changes the articulation angle by approx. 0°15' - 0°20'.
Shims are available as replacement parts in thicknesses from 1 mm - 4 mm.
If using shims > 2 mm thick, increase the bolt length by 5 mm. If a shim with a thickness >
5 mm is required, check the rubber mounts of the front rear axle carrier suspension for signs of compression and wear; replace if necessary.
Correcting front (1) and center articulation angles (2)
To correct the articulation angle at the transmission crossmember, fit shop-made shims at the rear engine mount and at the propeller shaft center support bearing.
A 1 mm thick shim changes the inclination angle by
approx. 0°10'.
If using shims > 2 mm thick, increase the bolt length by 5 mm.
If a shim with a thickness > 5 mm is required, check the rubber mounts of the engine and transmission mounting for signs of compression and wear; replace if necessary.
Carry out a check measurement again each time the inclination angle is corrected.
