'52 Chevy Pickup - Not Pro-Touring though!

[wiedemab]

So I measured for a driveshaft last night and in the process (actually prior to measuring) we made some adjustments to the pinion angle. As best I can measure with a digital angle finder, my engine/transmision is around 2.5 degrees down and my pinion is about 3.5 degrees up.

I know that they are technically supposed to be exactly opposite. My question is will I have issues If I don't get the pinion angle to exactly 2.5 degrees up, which I should be able to do if needed................and, is 2.5 degrees enough to not have u-joint issues?


Thanks,

Brandon
