Is this o.k. or too much? Not trying to start a pinion angle argument just wondering if 6 degrees is too much angle between driveshaft and rear pinion. The chart shows 5-10 is o.k but everything I found online says it should be less than 3. Thanks

Thanks If the rear was pointed up 2* it would be parallel with the trans... now start counting down from there to what your reading is... thats the degrees you have
