pinion angle @ ride height

[Sick5]

Funny things is ive been having this issue before a change my front end to dropmember.
When I drove to LA both times it ran with no issue then I was slowly starting to get this issue.
Could It be a ujoint or carrier bearing?
I have a small amount of play in the carrier bearing but the rear ujoint has no play

A center carrier bearing that has play will vibrate..

hmmmmm
well i guess im going to have someone take a look at it. first before a change it.

where do i place the angle reader on the tranny to get a true angle reading?

I pull the yoke off and stick it to the face of the output shaft

You can also use the starter pad or the pan rail if you want to leave the driveshaft installed.



BTW, Its not "common practice" to just dial in 2 degrees of pinion angle in case the pinion angle just happends to change.
On a street car not using leaf springs, there is no axle wrap.

Im amused at how many people believe that the pinon has no movement on a street truck! I guess bildings and bridges dont sway in the wind either. Why put extra clearance in an engine block everythings bolted tight right. So nothing should flex or contact. Its not a case of if it were going to move, the question is how much! And if you think it wont because its a street truck more power to you! anything underload will move or flex period!!

Shouldn't it look like this
Tranny 5
Shaft1. 4
Cent b. 0
Shaft2. 6
Dif. 3 0r 5

I keep reading that my differential needs to be 1 from the first shaft but level with the tranny ?
