[QUOTE="03Sssnake, post: 15617728, member: 7121"] My buddy just did a CJ on his 15, but he did not lower the motor, instead he removed the hood blanket and trimmed|notched the hood. Regarding pinion angle on an IRS car, not sure there is much you can do aside from checking it and raising/lowering the motor. I don't think any adjustment can be made at the differential since its fixed in place. You might consider notching the hood and raising the motor back up, but before doing that I'd just check the angle to start off and verify if its within spec. From there I'd mark the DS and then clock it, if it still persist then I'd put the stock DS back in for comparison. If those things don't work I'd personally notch the hood and bring the motor back up. BTW was this DSS single piece DS in the car prior to mounts being lowered? If so, no issues before lowering? FWIW the reason I ask is the shaft could just be out of balance, but I'd check the pinion angle before jumping to conclusions. [/QUOTE]
