Abstract: A drive module and a system for performing NVH testing on the drive module are provided. The system includes two pins extending from a platform and at least one qualified surface. A differential housing includes two surfaces, each having an opening formed therein. The differential housing further includes a clamping surface. The drive module is mounted to the platform by inserting the pins into the openings to align the drive module in a plane. A clamping pressure clamps the differential housing to the qualified surface to align the drive module in a second direction that is perpendicular to the plane such that the drive module pinion and axles are aligned with the energy sources of the system.

Abstract: A tool is provided for loading a component to a desired position relative to a body. The tool has a base adapted to removably hang on the body and a support that is mounted on the base by first track assemblies so that the support may translate in a first direction relative to the body. A carriage is mounted on the support by second track assemblies so that the carriage may travel in a second direction relative to the body. A turntable is mounted on the carriage by a pivot so that the turntable may rotate on the carriage. A component holding fixture is mounted on the turntable for supporting the component. A guide path mechanism acts between the carriage and the base and defines a path of movement of the carriage toward the body so that the component is carried to a desired location on the body for attachment thereto.
