Brake rotor centering

[GregWeld]

Trey ---


One of the things that gets messed up is trying to make it too complicated....


And remember that you want the PINION angle DOWN -- because as the power is put to the rear end - it tries to rotate the pinion UPWARDS.... The type of suspension you have makes a difference in how much this is allowed to rotate from a "negative" to the positive. A race suspension which allows hardly any movement -- should be set about 1 to 1.5* Down (at the pinion).... and a rubber suspension would be 3.5 to 4* down - because it's going to rotate up A LOT.... Urethane bushings would be "harder" and can be set at 2 to 2.5* Down etc.

So you need to know the suspension set up and adjust accordingly.

The motor is going to be 3 ish * down at the tranny ----- and the diff should be set according to the appropriate down angle (allowing for it to climb back to about zero in hard launch mode) according to how much movement it should have (a little - moderate - or a lot) -- and the working angle of the driveline will mathematically work out to about 1 ish * (the angles should cancel each other out, but they should never be 0 ----- is should always have 1 to as much as 2 degrees "difference".

So let's say the engine is down 3* -- and the driveline is down from the motor to the rear end 4* -- and the pinion is down 2*
