swapping in a rear d44 into my 93 and so am welding on new leaf perches and setting my pinion angle. Now everything that I have found says to make the pinion angle about 2 degrees less then the driveshaft angle...similar to the pics by the second poster on this thread http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=907888&highlight=setting+pinion+angle
Now my problem is the angle of the double cardan as it seems to be really really close to touching the bottom part of the shaft, as shown in the attached pictures. This is when my driveshaft is at the SAME angle as the pinion angle. So when I lower the pinion angle down (2 degrees to account for axle wrap) this space will be even closer. Is this ok...how much is it going to move...enough to rub?
This is on a PORC sye and Tom Woods shaft...running about 4-4.5" of lift by the way. Thanks guys.
