I believe I am going to just get some 2 degree shims and use them to test it before I mill my zero rates.
They can be removed if they do not work.
I checked on line about grinding my cv joint to get a little more angle out of it and I will do this if needed.
What I was feeling as far as...
I finally got the chance to take some actual measurements of my drive line angles using a torpedo level and speed square.
My front steering knuckles have 9 degrees angle up towards the front.
My front pinion angle is 5 degrees up toward the t-case. With each degree of shim the pinion will...
yes, I am trying to reduce the angle on the U-joint at the front axle. Have front and rear axles with cv at the t-case. rear axle is ok. front angle could be better but does work. I roughly measured it with a T-square and 4 to 6 degrees would probably get it as strait as the rear axle.
just...
It is not the same with a cv joint and u-joint. The cv joint or 'constant velocity' joint does not speed up and slow down like a highly angled u-joint. You will only get that in the u-joint that is at the differential and it gets worse with more angle. Thus that is why I am trying to shim my...
I need to move it because it hits the pitman arm. It only needs to move back 1/2 inch however the zero rate is either 1 or 1 1/2. It does not allow for moving the axle only 1/2 inch forward so it puts me at moving the axle back to the stock location.
I was considering making custom zero rates...
I have no problems in the rear, the shackle flip gives it just enough it would not hurt to have a slight bit more angle. It is pointing at the oil pan and not the t-case but it has no vibration or bumps due to the cv hitting its stops.
My front driveshaft is longer than the rear. My t-case...
I have a dana 60 and 14 bolt with a 5 inch lift using zero rates.
I have to move the axles back to stock location. currently have front moved forward an inch and back moved back an inch.
Since I am going to take it apart again, I want to shim both axles to help my pinion angle. I have CV style...
