ADJUSTMENTS
REAR AXLE PINION INPUT ANGLE
Adjust the rear axle pinion input angle on vehicles
equipped with leaf springs with tapered shims (Fig.
37). Install tapered shims between the springs and
axle pad to correct the angle. Refer to Group 2, Sus-
pension, for additional information.
FRONT AXLE PINION INPUT ANGLE
Adjust the front axle pinion input angle at the
lower suspension arms with shims (Fig. 38). Adding
shims will decrease the pinion shaft angle but will
also increase the caster angle. The pinion shaft angle
has priority over the caster angle. Refer to Group 2,
Suspension, for additional information.
