Hey guys i have a Midwest Chassis 9 inch and i took out my torque are during my tranny removal, and when i put it back in i set the angle to 3 degrees, is this correct angle for our cars? I measured the crank at -1 degree and the rear end yolk at 4 degrees. Thanks

I set mine at -2 degrees with the suspension loaded and somebody about the same weight as me sitting in the car. From what I've read, thats about where you want it.

-1 to -1.5 is were you want to set your pinion angle.

I dropped mine down to -1 from the crank angle and all my vibrations went away. Mine is a daily driver that gets abused and there is no vibration and lots of performance. Highly recommend!

You want the pinion to be 1-2* under what your crank angle is. Right now it sonds like your 5* above so your way off.

MW is dead on. If the engine is pointing down 1 degree toward the rear, then the rear pinion yoke needs to point down 1 degree. That will allow the joints to align under torque when the rear rotates upward ~2 degrees at wot. Engine will be down 1 and pinion will rotate up to +1 and the joints will be parallel...where you want them.

I put the car at ride height witht he suspension loaded and adjusted pinion, I did put the agf on opposite sides of the car so it would read in the same direction btw. IS THIS CORRECT?

not to thread hijack... but i have a really loud vibration i thought it was my poly tranny mount but could it be from my pinon angle being off? i have a tunnel mounted tqarm

Someone posted this website and I think it explains it very well. Mine is at 1.5, but I'm going to pull the driveshaft like this site and confirm.
