This job should be performed by a local driveline repair shop capable of balancing the finished assembly. (Use a C.V. joint & long slip spline style shaft assembly.) With the vehicle finished and on the ground, measure a straight line between the transfer case output yoke and the rear pinion yoke center mating flanges. (Fig. A)
For proper C.V. type drive shaft operation, the rear differential should be pointed at the transfer case output yoke under normal driving load.

Volvo Amazon Road Test
July 27th, 2008 · No Comments
A HIGH quality family four-seater of modern appearance, giving a comfortable ride and having an 85 b.h.p. engine producing a top speed of 94 m.p.h. with acceleration to match: these are qualities which help to make the Volvo Amazon one of the most interesting cars in the up-to-1,600 c.c. class. Sensitive steering, a fine four-speed gear box with central lever, and good road-holding qualities are further attractions. The Amazon was first driven by The Autocar staff in its native Sweden just before its announcement in 1956, and again in the same country earlier this year.
