When fitting a SYE it is common to lift the pinion of an axle to point towards the transmission output shaft. However when ones XJ has a lift in the region of 6" like mine, that angle is relatively substantial. I've measured mine with the angle finder to be about 13-14 degrees. The worry I have is the lubrication of the pinion bearing inside the diff. Is it possible for the bearing to run dry due to the angle the pinion points upwards? If it is, how does one counter this - do we just add more diff oil?
