Re: Rear leaf spring swap issue

This is one of my go to to share driveshaft angle charts.

The output shaft on the transmisison and the pinion in the rear axle need to be parallell with each other. That is the main thing. That should make the angle between the output shaft and the driveshaft and the angle between the driveshaft and the pinion shaft the same. That is the important part.



You need to know the difference between the output shaft and drive shaft and the drive shaft and the pinion shaft and that that those differences are the same. The angle of the driveshaft should be the same though the whole drive shaft.
