Vibration Felt - Measuring Pinion Angle without Lift.. S&W adjustable torque arm I've been chasing drivetrain noise/vibrations since I've got the car and I'm starting to get it under control.. I just replaced my u-joints and had my driveshaft balanced which helped some. The transmission mount helped quite a bit, but the next thing I'm going to try is adjusting my pinion angle. God knows if the previous owner did. I saw a BMR video on how to do it, then read somewhere that the video has been corrected and I can't find that updated video.. Also is there anyway to get underneath the car to measure it without a drive on lift?
Thanks!
Thanks!

for what its worth, i use rhino ramps, i then measure the distance from the ground to the top of the wheel, through the center, and then jack up the back by the pumpkin to the same height.

You don't want to do pinion angle on the rack, you need
all 4 loaded normal. I have 4 Rhino ramps and last time I
did this I put the car up on all 4 so it was just like on the
driveway, only with room to breathe.
