Driveline angle help

How does the angle look? See attached picture. Should I rotate the rear axle more?

What type of drive shaft do you have?

Nick21 · Oct 26, 2020

None yet. Trying to get the angle set so I can measure and order

That is the new Tom Woods Ghost shaft

The axle could be raised a small bit more, but honestly it doesn't matter all that much if it is exact. Sure changing the pinion angle changes the length of the driveshaft, but that change is small enough to not cause functional issues. Dial it in exactly when you get the shaft.

Thanks. I'll leave it as it is then

I just aim my rear yoke directly at the t/case.

That is close enough to order. You'll fine tune it once it's installed.

I cut a piece of a broom handle and use an angle finder with a magnet on it to get it close then got the double cardin mounted up. Worked for me.
