Axle shims - making & measuring
Re: Axle shims - making & measuring
The front Prop runs pretty funky UJ angles as it is, technically they are still in phase but they don't have ideal angles, but when in 4wd you are rarely travelling fast so it doesn't really matter.
have you got a smart phone Jordi? You can get pretty accurate angle finder apps that will do the trick for checking your diff flange angle.

On flat ground can you measure the front Tbox flange angle on the face and the front diff flange face angle, there should be enough space on the flange to do this with the prop fitted.
