How far do I need to turn my rear axle to get correct pinion angle???????????

[duster360]

My trans angle is 1* down and the rearend yoke is 4* nose up. How many degrees down do I need to go to get the correct pinion angle?

What is the shafts angle ?

 

[duster360]

It is definitly 1*. I took a guesstimate at the actual trans angle because the driveshaft is still in the car.

No quessing, protractor to rear trans, and yoke on rear, sitting loaded.

Green's right. You can't guess. Gotta measure it. If you can get a protractor into the harmonic balancer you can measure it as it's in a straight line as the trans. yoke and will read the same.

I was going to do that before I actually go ahead and shim the axle. Just trying to get a feel for where I need to set it.

Measure your shaft angle, if it is -1 you want around -4
