Just curious which method of pinion angle adjustment are you guys using and why? (Crank or drive shaft)
pinion angle
- Thread starter 03 silver cobra
- Start date
In for info, I was under the impression you use adjustable upper control to change the "roll" (lack of a better term) of the rear axle.

^adjustable control arms are only for solid axles. I use the aluminum diff mounts from FTBR.

This is what I used for setting mine. It is for a solid axle as Big Moose said though.
Ok,so you guys did it based off of the angle of the d.s.? This is the was I did mine as well, just went to baseline suspensions relocated uppers but was recommended to do it based off of the harmonic balancer rather than d.s. angle. Not to say the using the d.s. was wrong but I couldn't figure the difference and I was curious if any of you guys knew why, on a side note what did you guys set you pinion angle at?
Damn, I always forget the IRS guys, sorry.

I went with -3.
The angle of the front joint and rear joint must match. You do not set it based off the harmonic balancer.. dont know how you would even do that... also must make sure the U-joints are in phase when re-installing the shaft
there was a write up on baseline suspensions website I was just curious, thanks for the info guys!
