He`s trying very hard to be convincing surrounded by all of his plaques/awards...........too funny.

Note how smooth the U-joints rotate when the pinion becomes PARALLEL to the transmission (motor side in this example).

There are even Better vids out there then this one.

It doesnt take a Vid for me to understand that a PARALLEL driveline angle is what to shoot for even if its on a different plane.

You can tell the doubters, about the vids, but they dont want to see them. Why, because, they dont want to kmow that they were wrong or really didnt truly understand, this pinion angle thing. Another human Ego fault I guess.


Fact, Ujoints work best in a parallel plane, even if that plane isnt on the same exact plane, as long as both are parallel. Period!!

Absolutely, we shoot for the "happy medium" as our leaf spring cars are and have dynamic movement. Im glad you used the word happy

The "Central" controversy of the pinion angle debate is how you adjust that "happy medium"

1, "drive shaft/ pinion centerline"

2, "tranny centerline/pinion centerline"

One of those is the Best and most accurate way to set for the best "happy medium"

The other is a attempt to set a "happy medium"
between the drive shaft/pinion centerline" with no reguards to the actual true driveline angles. Setting things blindly so to speak.

You want to know where Both angles are at, Not just one.

Edit, There are Two Ujoints, not just one. We need to keep them "Both Happy" Neither are happy if you set up for one. Both need to be considered.

I measure three areas; ft. u-joint to trans(no less than 1 degree), rear end and rear u-joint and the most critical to me, trans to rear end............fun stuff..........
