Measuring UJ & Driveline Angles
The Anglemaster can be used wherever there is a need for a precise measurement of angles
and slopes. The information below is a step by step guide on how to use the Anglemaster in
measuring driveline angles to avoid vibration problems associated with incorrect driveshaft
and u-joint working angles.

Step by step guide to measuring angles

The slope at which a driveline component is installed is a slope of inclination. It is considered
either positive or negative depending on whether the slope points up or down when viewed
from the transmission toward the rear of the vehicle. A negative driveline slope points down,
High angles combined with high RPMs result in serious vibration problems and reduced

u-joint life. Driveline angles should be equal to or within 1º of each other. When checking
driveshaft angles, be sure all tyres are inflated to their normal operating pressure. Park the
vehicle on the surface which is as nearly level as possible both from front to back and from
side to side.
Also remember to check driveshaft angles while the vehicle is unloaded, and again when
it is loaded. This can tell you a lot about operating vibrations that are only present under
certain conditions.

The operating angle of a u-joint is the relationsip between two slopes, such as the Using your Spicer Anglemaster digital driveline inclinometer, determine the operating angles

To correctly align a centre bearing rubber isolator, follow the steps below:

• Misaligned rubber isolators can cause

• Install the bolts securing the centre • To prevent such failures, ensure that the

End Fitting Inspection Universal Joint Inspection
Inspect for: • Check for excessive looseness between the ends of the universal joint bearing cup
assemblies and trunnions
• Damaged half round bearing straps • Grasp the yoke on the driveshaft and attempt to move the yoke horizontally & vertically.
• Loose bearing strap bolts There should be less then .006” (.15mm) movement If looseness is greater than .006”

• Loose companion flange bolts and nuts
• With re-lubable style UJs check for the presence and any damage of all grease Zerks
• Damaged or worn tangs on end fittings (Nipples) If any of the above are found repair or replace grease fitting as required
• Damaged or missing snap rings
• Rotating bearing cups
• If any of these conditions are present component replacement is necessary

Causes of Vibration
The three most common
causes of driveshaft
vibration are:
• Driveshaft Imbalance
• Critical Speed
• Universal Joint Operating Angles

Other causes can include:

• Loose / damaged engine /
transmission mounts
• Incorrect Clutch installation
• Wheel ends
• Incorrect ride heights
