Pinpoint Tests


PINPOINT TEST A: DRIVELINE CLUNK- LOUD CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The driveline system enables the power generated by the engine and transferred through the transmission and, if applicable, transfer case, to place the vehicle in motion. Rotational torque received from the transmission or transfer case is delivered to the front and rear drive axles by way of the driveshafts. The CV joints at the ends of the shafts allow the shafts to rotate smoothly in an allowable angle plane. The rotational torque is introduced into the axle differential which drives the axles/halfshaft.

Possible Sources

  • Damaged or worn driveshaft CV joint
A1 INSPECT THE DRIVESHAFT CV (CONSTANT VELOCITY) JOINTS FOR WEAR OR DAMAGE
  • Inspect the driveshaft CV joints for wear or damage.

Was any damage found?
Yes Install a new driveshaft as necessary.
REFER to: Rear Driveshaft (205-01 Driveshaft, Removal and Installation).
No Inspect the vehicle for any other symptoms related to the driveshaft.

PINPOINT TEST B: DRIVELINE CLUNK- OCCURS AS THE VEHICLE STARTS TO MOVE FORWARD FOLLOWING A STOP

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The driveline system enables the power generated by the engine and transferred through the transmission and, if applicable, transfer case, to place the vehicle in motion. Rotational torque received from the transmission or transfer case is delivered to the front and rear drive axles by way of the driveshafts. The CV joints at the ends of the shafts allow the shafts to rotate smoothly in an allowable angle plane. The rotational torque is introduced into the axle differential which drives the axles/halfshaft.

Possible Sources

  • Worn driveshaft CV joint with excessive play
B1 INSPECT THE DRIVESHAFT CV (CONSTANT VELOCITY) JOINT FOR A WORN CONDITION
  • Inspect the driveshaft CV joint for a worn condition.

Was any damage found?
Yes Install a new driveshaft as necessary.
REFER to: Rear Driveshaft (205-01 Driveshaft, Removal and Installation).
No Inspect the vehicle for any other symptoms related to the driveshaft.

PINPOINT TEST C: BUZZ – BUZZING NOISE IS THE SAME AT CRUISE OR COAST/DECELERATION

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The driveline system enables the power generated by the engine and transferred through the transmission and, if applicable, transfer case, to place the vehicle in motion. Rotational torque received from the transmission or transfer case is delivered to the front and rear drive axles by way of the driveshafts. The CV joints at the ends of the shafts allow the shafts to rotate smoothly in an allowable angle plane. The rotational torque is introduced into the axle differential which drives the axles/halfshaft.

Possible Sources

  • Incorrect driveline angles
C1 CHECK DRIVELINE ANGLES
  • Check driveline angles.

Are the driveline angles incorrect?
Yes Repair as necessary.
REFER to: Driveshaft Angle Measurement (205-01 Driveshaft, General Procedures).
No Inspect the vehicle for any other symptoms related to the driveshaft.

PINPOINT TEST D: RUMBLE OR BOOM – NOISE OCCURS AT COAST/ DECELERATION, USUALLY DRIVESHAFT SPEED-RELATED AND NOTICEABLE OVER A WIDE RANGE OF SPEEDS

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The driveline system enables the power generated by the engine and transferred through the transmission and, if applicable, transfer case, to place the vehicle in motion. Rotational torque received from the transmission or transfer case is delivered to the front and rear drive axles by way of the driveshafts. The CV joints at the ends of the shafts allow the shafts to rotate smoothly in an allowable angle plane. The rotational torque is introduced into the axle differential which drives the axles/halfshaft.

Possible Sources

  • Driveshaft out of balance
D1 CHECK THE DRIVESHAFT FOR DAMAGE, MISSING WEIGHTS OR UNDERCOATING
  • Check the driveshaft for damage, missing weights or undercoating.

Was the driveshaft damaged or out of balance?

No Inspect the vehicle for any other symptoms related to the driveshaft.

PINPOINT TEST E: GRUNTING- NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH A SHUDDER EXPERIENCED DURING ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The driveline system enables the power generated by the engine and transferred through the transmission and, if applicable, transfer case, to place the vehicle in motion. Rotational torque received from the transmission or transfer case is delivered to the front and rear drive axles by way of the driveshafts. The CV joints at the ends of the shafts allow the shafts to rotate smoothly in an allowable angle plane. The rotational torque is introduced into the axle differential which drives the axles/halfshaft.

PINPOINT TEST F: DRIVELINE SHUDDER- OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION FROM A SLOW SPEED OR STOP

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The driveline system enables the power generated by the engine and transferred through the transmission and, if applicable, transfer case, to place the vehicle in motion. Rotational torque received from the transmission or transfer case is delivered to the front and rear drive axles by way of the driveshafts. The CV joints at the ends of the shafts allow the shafts to rotate smoothly in an allowable angle plane. The rotational torque is introduced into the axle differential which drives the axles/halfshaft.

PINPOINT TEST G: DRIVELINE VIBRATION - OCCURS AT CRUISING SPEEDS

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The driveline system enables the power generated by the engine and transferred through the transmission and, if applicable, transfer case, to place the vehicle in motion. Rotational torque received from the transmission or transfer case is delivered to the front and rear drive axles by way of the driveshafts. The CV joints at the ends of the shafts allow the shafts to rotate smoothly in an allowable angle plane.

    Information on P Type Tires

    Lincoln Corsair. Information on P Type Tires

    P215/65R15 95H is an example of a tire size, load index and speed rating. The definitions of these items are listed below. (Note that the tire size, load index and speed rating for your vehicle may be different from this example.)

    P: Indicates a tire, designated by the Tire and Rim Association, that may be used for service on cars, sport utility vehicles, minivans and light trucks. Note: If your tire size does not begin with a letter this may mean it is designated by either the European Tire and Rim Technical Organization or the Japan Tire Manufacturing Association. 215: Indicates the nominal width of the tire in millimeters from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general, the larger the number, the wider the tire. 65: Indicates the aspect ratio which gives the tire's ratio of height to width. R: Indicates a radial type tire. 15: Indicates the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel diameter. 95: Indicates the tire's load index. It is an index that relates to how much weight a tire can carry. You may find this information in your owner’s manual. If not, contact a local tire dealer.
