8.8 rear in my A-body. I cant be the first!

So the pinion shaft is also offset in the carrier?
To which side?
Does it help or make it even worse?



Not that I plan to install a rear end that is way off, but... As far as an offset drive shaft goes..
Its ok to have an offset that isnt extreme as long as the angles are the same at the axis of each u-joint.
In other words as long as the front u-joint and the rear u-joint are at the same position (angle wise and on both axis) all the time, you can safely have an offset drive shaft.

This is done on a normal basis in Jeeps and 4 wheels drives from the factory. The driveshaft is offset and of course has a typical "downward" angle toward the actuall dif.

Again its all about the U-joints staying in the same plane.
