Where is a shaft measured?

Place the end of a soft tape measure at the bottom of your heel. Extend the tape measure upwards, over the back of your leg, until it hits a point just below your kneecap. You can then take this calf height measurement and compare it to the shaft height measurement of the boots you are looking at.

How is wheelbase measured?

A vehicle’s wheelbase is a measurement of the distance between the wheels, more specifically the center of each wheel. Think of an imaginary line between the center cap of your front wheel and the center cap of the rear wheel.

How much play should my driveshaft have?

@parzival some movement is definitely expected and 1/16th of an inch seems to be within those tolerances. Make sure that you do not get a vibration sound (thumping) while driving which would be a more common for that bearing.

What can be used to measure diameter?

Usually an instrument named calipers is used to measure diameter. Usually an instrument named calipers is used to measure diameter.

Is used to measure outside diameter of shaft?

What is a shaft size?

How do you measure wheelbase and track width?

Look at the vehicle from side view, the distance between the centre of front wheel and rear wheel (rim centre) is your wheel base, represented here by A. Consider the distance between two rear wheels centre, that’s your wheel track. Represented by B.

How do you measure wheelbase width?

by measuring from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axle and then from center of the tread on the front tires across the width of the vehicle. These two measurements determine wheel base and track width.

Is longer wheelbase better?

Cars with long wheelbases tend to have better ride quality than those with short wheelbases. This is simply because there’s more time between the front and rear wheels hitting any bumps, so the car is less likely to become unsettled.

Should you be able to move your driveshaft?

If the transmission is in park, the wheels would be locked. If the transmission is in gear, you would be acting against the engine compression. There shouldn’t be much movement in the driveshaft, except rotation. There shouldn’t be any back and forth movement.

Should there be play in the front drive shaft?

Jerry Bransford said: Considerable driveshaft rotational play is normal due to the required amount of backlash between the axle’s ring and pinion gears. Of course it’s impossible to know if your play is abnormal without actually seeing it. It’s probably ok.
