2016年9月19日 · In this tech article, we show you how to measure the working angles on your drive shaft to ensure long life out of your U-joints.

2021年12月2日 · How to Get the Right Pinion Angle. The simple fix to correct rear axle pinion angle, eliminate driveshaft vibration, and improve performance.

2005年5月14日 · The pinion angle’s relationship to the transmission output shaft angle (or crankshaft angle) and driveshaft angle is also extremely important. This relationship defines the angles at which the “U” joints operate and according to Ray Currie of Currie enterprises, “universal joints are designed to handle angles between 1 and 3 degrees.

Most driveline companies recommend operating angles of 3° or less for maximum u-joint life. There should be a minimum of ½° to allow the needles to rotate. The higher the operating angle, the more likely your vehicle will develop a vibration at high driveshaft speeds. The lower the angle, the lower the chance of vibration at high driveshaft speeds.

Pinion and Driveshaft angles are critical to ensure your car does not have any unwanted vibration, and you get maximum life from your driveshaft. Unwanted h...

On rear axles with a double cardan-style ’shaft, the pinion and driveshaft should ideally be at a 0-degree operating angle at ride height.

A simple method that can be employed to ensure that the trans output shaft and pinion are parallel is to place a digital angle finder on a machined surface of the engine block (i.e. oil pan rail etc.).

2014年11月20日 · In order to keep the driveshaft and U-joints operating in a (more or less) straight line, the pinion angle has to be correct. Typically, the pinion angle is measured between the pinion gear flange and the driveshaft as well as the transmission slip yoke and the driveshaft.

2002年12月1日 · Setting the pinion angle is the final step in driveline alignment. The goal is to create a straight line from the back of the crankshaft through the transmission, driveshaft, and the...

2014年3月13日 · The article “Drive Shaft Harmonics” in Hot Rod MD explains how to set up the pinion angle on a rear end differential. It states in the process that the next step is to measure the rear end pinion angle.
