Driveshaft Q very frustrated HELP!!!

okay i have a two piece drive shaft and my pinion angle is F**Ked up i need help setting her correct... i know i need to be around 3 deg. so in that case how should my shaft be pointed? like this? and at what deg should each be? should my axle be pointing like that or shud it be pointing in line with the drive shaft? LMK ASAP PLAESE ANYONE

Read the info on that site. It should help you out.

why should it be at 3 degrees? if you already know that you have figured out everything else....

3 degrees isn't pointing at the driveline as it is in the picture.

so the front part (trans to carrier bearing) should be 3 deg and the rear (carrier bearing to diff) should equal out at 3 deg also right?

well diff should point up just a little because when you start moving from a dead stop your diff will rotate down and if you have your diff straight when you start to go it will rotate down and bind

my 02 cents...easiest explanation i can give

your diff will rotate up from a standstill

a second opinion... when you step on the gas the top of your diff rotates backward. not foreward. unless you are going in reverse.

I had to build a new crossmember for the carrier bearing to raise it enough to straighten the driveline out. I think i raised it 1.75". You need to check the tranny with an angle finder, then check the first driveshaft. Compare the 2 measurements, you want more than 1/2 degree, but no more than 3 degrees. Check the second shaft and rearend with the angle finder and compare those measurments also. I had to raise my carrier bearing to get both shafts and the rearend where i had no more 3 degrees between each joint and less than an 1/2 degree between each joint. You'll have to play with it for awhile before you get it where it needs to be. Raise it some then recheck everything. I also shortened my drive shaft 3/4 of an inch because of how high i raised the carrier bearing. This is the way i done mine and it worked fine.
