*SIGH* - Pinion Angle Question Again
OK, maybe I don't know what I'm doing!! Everyone tells me that it should point *down* a couple of degrees. When you say point down, does that mean in relation to the driveshaft, or to the ground when it is just sitting there? I assumed it meant to the driveshaft, and did it that way, but when I look under the car, it appears as if it's pointing up ( which would explain why I still have wheelhop ). Anyone???

Re: *SIGH* - Pinion Angle Question Again
I've always understood it as the relative angle between the DS and the pinion. And that negative is the direction you want to go. So, if you imagine the driveshaft and the pinion forming a V, the point of the V should be toward the ground.
I run -3 all the time <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
also, i've noticed a signifcant improvement in wheel hop by softening the HAL's 1 click in the back. Just a thought if you have adjustable shocks
BTW, moving to drivetrain
