Ford 8.8 axle swap
HOT-ROD:
talking with Pete from CTAXLE, he said that as long as the pinion angle is dead nutz on the axle, you dont have too much to worry about with the drive shaft angle (unless severely extreme). with that, i totally understand the importance of setting up proper drive angles and such.
good luck

nobody likes dead nutz

Hot Rod, define dead nutz please. Parralel with the ground? Parralel with the driveshaft angle? And it isn't supposed to be a perfect straight line angle through the driveshaft into the pinion. There is supposed to be like a 3-8 degree difference I think, it provides for proper motion of the u-joint keeping it lubricated...

I remember someone telling me that a while back but I've been wrong before. Does that link I posted have anything to say? I didn't read the whole thing....I was at work...
