[QUOTE="XP900, post: 16583401, member: 199546"] Here's my next problem.... My measured pinion angle is +.2 NOT good and I measured it using two different methods and tools. My balancer is sloping downward towards the rear at a negative 1.8 degrees My pinion is sloping upward towards the front of the car at a positive 2.0 degrees -1.8 + 2.0 = .2 degrees positive pinion angle My one piece driveshaft is sloping downward at a negative 3.8 degrees which is good but doesn't really matter. So how did my pinion angle get so far off on a stock rear-end - replaced pinion bearing in car but never removed anything that would have caused an angle change of that kind of magnitude. Even worse is this....I think the rear of the car is sitting 1 3/16" lower than it was when new. (Don't now about the front height drop.) In my mind I think that should have made the pinion angle point down even lower to the ground which should have made my pinion angle go more negative. Instead it is positive and nowhere near the -2 it should be at. Baffled at this...looked over LCAs, panhard bar and UCA mount and bushings and they look fine and centered. No visible reason for the issue. I don't think relocation brackets will fix this and don't want noisy adjustable LCAs - only option I think is an adjustable UCA along with the NVH it will create.
