Having wrong pinion angle....

Does it do any damage to any parts rearend, u-joints, etc..? Jus wondering cause the mechanic didnt have a lift to set it but he did his best to set it. I think its set to -1 right now...not really too sure.

Thanks, Nate

If he put too much negative in all it'll do is eat up u-joints. You'll have better tractioc though.

IHI is correct about too much negative pinion, but you'll be fine at -1.

Do you still have a torque arm? If so, forget about it.

It figures you'd have an adjustable arm
