rear suspention questions
Ok guys I have a few questions regarding pion angle. I recently bought upper and lower control arms for my 90 coupe and am about to install them. I set them next to factory control arms and set them up as close to the factory one as I could. What angle should I be shooting for and how do I measure it? I have the angle finder but don't know exactly how to use it. Any help would be geatly apprciated. Oh and there upr uppers and lowers with the anti roll.
Hope this helps
Setting Pinion Angle
We paid a visit to Currie’s shop in Anaheim, California, home of Mickey Mouse and the Magic Kingdom, to observe the method he uses to measure pinion angle. Currie takes the process one step further by factoring in the transmission output shaft’s angle in determining where the pinion angle should be set.
Sometimes corrections need to be made at the front of the vehicle to ensure that the engine and trans are sitting in the proper location. According to Currie, the average car crafter should strive for between 1 and 3 degrees between the tailshaft of the transmission and driveshaft, and 1 to 3 degrees between the driveshaft and pinion. Furthermore, the two angles should be nearly equal (between 1 and 3 degrees), but always opposite (see crude diagram)
