Thread: pinion angle?

Tweet

Preload?? Whoa!!! There isn't supposed to be any preload. There should be 1/4" to 1/2" of daylight between the top of the snubber and the bottom of the spring eye.

If I wanted to know what was going on under there, I'd mount a good strong light and a video camera under the car and do a couple of good, hard passes. You'll be able to see the pinion angle under power and determine what's goin' on.

CE makes 2 degree angle plates if you find you need to rotate the pinion to a more acceptable angle. The plates will also work to give you the daylight you need at the snubber or for more snubber clearance, you can perform surgery on it with a hacksaw blade.
