Setting Pinon Angle
#4
I only drive my car on the street and what has worked best for me is setting the rear pinion yoke parallel to the output shaft of the trans. This has given me the least vibration at highway speeds. If you are drag racing, I would set the rear pinion 1 to 2 degrees down from parallel with the trans. Just my opinion though.

I will finish installing my rear this weekend and don't want any vibrations. To eleminate how much a u-joint has to turn would it be bad to set the angle of the rear to the same angle of the drive shaft? in a car the drive shaft should be relatively level at ride height.

So set the pinion angle to the same angle the transmission is at, is that correct?

This is more properly called getting your drive line angle. You need to know the angle of one side so you can set the other.
