Pinion Angle?

Ok the mazdas getting a 98 mustang 8.8 disc brake rear, only problem is i forget what the pinion should be set at ride height. With a 1pc driveshaft.... Help please! Thanks in advance....

anybody no?????

what is the transmission at?

+/- 2/3 degrees of ur transmission tailshaft

Basically its just not supposed to go straight with the driveshaft, because it will destroy the bearings. I set mine at the same angle as my motor/tranny. Which was a positive 2 degrees.

equal but opposite angle of the trans, check this pic out but ignore the #s, theyre just for example:

wrong!

it should be equally opposite of your transmission, and the ride height should not allow the u-joint to have a 0 degree working angle, because the joints need at least 1/2 degree working angle to properly lube the needle bearings.
