Re: 57 Panel "FAKMLC" build

So have to go and get my driveshaft made/ordered.
Before i do that need to ensure that the axle is in correct position (centered) and the drive angle is good for measurement.

So guess best way would be like this ?

Get truck as level on ground as possible.
Engine at around 3 degrees up
Place differential around 3 degrees up

Use string or measure from front tire to back tire on both sides to ensure equal from front.
Same again for axle on center pins - equal distance from pins. Clamp down.
Then measure distance from output shaft to 8.8 flange as per driveshaft builder requirements.

About it.

Then when i get the driveshaft - adjust the rear up.down as required to best get right driveline operating angles here

Obviously hoping not have to adjust much at all else then might have DS length issue.
