Pinion Angle Finally Solved

[andrewb70]

I thought of this but never did it. I had my newly finished 67 perfect right out of the box, but my OCD self wanted the rear wheels perfectly centered in the wheelwell. I have adjustable lower bars, so I centered them (this lowered the pinion). I counted the turns, and turned the upper bars the same # of turns thinking this would raise the pinion the exact same amount, putting the pinion right back in the same place....wrong. horrible vibration. I guess the ratio from lower to upper bars is not 1:1. I have made an adjustment since, & its better but not where it was initially. I'm going to measure tomorrow. I'm wondering if If I affected the driveshaft- by moving the wheels back I pulled it too far out of the trans. Thanks for your point of view.
