If his axle tubes are equal length then the housing is centered but the pinion of offset to pass side. If the pinion is centered then the axle tubes would not be equal length. If the axle tubes are equal and pinion is centered the the driver side wheel is touching or outside the quarter!!

well my driveshaft is centered and my axle tubes are too, it looks really straight and dead on and it actually tracks the front tires. sorry for the confusion though, i just wanted an opinion on this. I was gonna change some things on it, but if it doesn't present an issue when im going around the track then im fine with that.

Like I said everything looks true and fine, I was just wondering if I would run into any issues because it drove fine when I test drove the car. My driveshaft and pinion angle seem to be good too because there was also no vibration either.

I dont have any clear ones of exactly what I am trying to explain, Im in afghanistan right now, so when i get home ill definitely get more detailed photos. I found one that probably shows ore of what I am talking about. It isnt the finish project, I am probably going to change a few things and reinforce it a lot because the 390 I built has a little over 500 ft. lbs of torque so, its going to need it. I am perfectionist with these things and I change them when I am satisfied and felt that it is where it needs to be
