If your measuring from drive shaft to pinion your doing it wrong.....period.

Additionally.....pinion angle has absolutely nothing to do with bite/hook......holy smokes!!!!


Ding, Ding, Ding - we have a W I N N E R !

The driveshaft doesn't even have to be in to check or set PINION angle.

And I'd like to punch the person that started the M Y T H that changing pinion angle changes traction right in the boy marbles.


So I assume you make it parallel to the trans then rollin
the pinion angle..... sure am glad you didnt set the pinion
angle on my old Jeep.. with the 33" tires and set up your
way the U-joints would have been in bind just sitting there
