Re: Another Pinion Angle Question

The .017 is about 1 degree per inch. So for example the measurement is 46 inches you get 46X.017X2.5=1.955 for the spacer to get you to 3 degrees. You can use the same method to get the taper for shims for the trailing arms or to cut the tops of blocks to get you pinion angle adjusted.
