How to correctly clamp leaf springs to hookup!

No I haven't. But that angle would go too far if the snubber wasn't doing it's job and the diff was rotating too far. Wouldn't hurt to check it.

Ummmm....what? The snubber's "job" is to plant the tires on the track. Period. It has no other function whatsoever. Pinion angle is a static measurement that should be 5-7* nose down in relation to drive shaft. Per the Mopar Performance Chassis Manual.

I was reading elsewhere where a guy with a rear wheel drive car had the exact symptoms as I had. He found his snubber was detrioated and after replacing it the problem went away.

That's entirely possible but would have absolutely nothing to do with pinion angle. If the snubber was deteriorated, then it was not working to its full capacity to plant the tires and that was causing the problem.

Now I had this with the stock setup and the stock snubber. At one point I had the pig swapped out. That pig ended up without a snubber and I found the bolts for the snubber were broken off in the holes. Reason the rearend is currently out of the car. Broken bolts are removed now so when I get it back in I can put the snubber back and get it setup. I have a stock snubber and the Mopar adjustable one.

Currently the car is also sitting about 2" high in back because of the SS springs. If I flip the front brackets on the springs it should put the height pretty much back to stock. I checked the dimensions on the front bracket and flipping it makes a 2" difference. From what I read the SS springs can lift the back end 2".

Mopar Performance actually does not recommend a snubber with SS springs on an automatic car. Although many people run them with success, they are not necessary. I did not see you specify auto or manual. Maybe I missed it. If you have the SS springs already, they come clamped correctly unless they have been modified. Those SS springs are designed to be used with the stock spring hangers in the stock location. Flipping them might open another can of worms. Instead of guessing, you need to iron it out like it is supposed to be, then make mods from there or you may never find the problem.

So basically I need to make sure, as an old plumber told me many times, "first we check to see if everything how it's suppose to be? Then we look for the problem". :)


Sounds like a plan.
