Pinion angle video
« on: March 05, 2016 - 12:52:41 PM »
I have a vibration in my car at about 75-80 mph (Guessing speedo is off) and doing some reading it may be that I didn't know to check for proper pinion angle. Though I suspect something different. I found this video that puts it in perspective.

Here's a thread about driveline vibration. Those of us with a TKO tranny have been searching for an answer.

That video really shows the need for a pinion snubber. I'm gonna film my car like that when I'm done so I can see that the pinion snubber works. I guess the rear ride height matter a lot for the function also.
