The sedan two piece driveshafts are meant to have the center support offset (to the right) from the shaft centerline. Effectively they have a dogleg in the horizontal plane. Anything that uses gravity as a reference will be useless for measuring this. you need to measure an angle *in* the horizontal plane, not relative to horizontal. B.J., when I really want to know this setting is exactly correct, the elusive uncurable vibration, I use some string, some tape, a ruler, and a trig function capable calculator. It's been too long since I last did this; I no longer remember the exact set up and numbers. Randy K. Wilson randy@taylor.infi.net References:
