Think – SAFETY FIRST
Use stable blocking, safety jack stands, and vehicle lifts for safety
Mistakes are COSTLY!
Measurements are often as important or more so than the year, make and model of vehicle due to possible changes to the vehicle
ARIZONA DRIVESHAFT will provide products to client measurements – proper measurement is the responsibility of the end user
Measurement must be done with wheels and axles under normal vehicle load – Vehicle at level that is high enough to allow proper access for measuring – Proper angle of the pinion
Measurement for long lengths by tape measure should always pull an inch at the beginning of tape – the end of tape measures can give a false reading due to varying end construction
Long measurements should be done by two persons and pull tape tight during measurement
Measure small parts with a straight ruler (preferably metal) and / or a caliper (preferably digital) for greater accuracy
