Well, I have my CV Shaft back from the driveline place, the yoke installed, and so I go to put in the CV Shaft. Too Long. The driveline place created the shaft too long and they measured it. I called and they said no problem, measure and bring it in and they'll fix it no charge. Anyway, it was kinda a good thing because I had forgotten I still had the transfercase drop kit on the jeep when I had it measured the first time. So last weekend when I installed the yoke I took out the transfercase drop kit spacers. As a result though I noticed the pinion isn't pointing at the transfercase as nicely as it was before. The axle is shimmed at 4 degrees so looks like I need to increase that slope.
Question:
- With both of the yokes in a vertical orientation I measured from top to top and bottom to bottom. I got 23 3/8" at the top and 23 3/16" at the bottom. As I mentioned I have 4 degree shims in there now. Is there a way I can determine the degree value of the new shims to get the pinion more pointing to the transfer case? I have an angle finder but cannot find a good place to lay it for a clear determination. Anyway based on the numbers above can the increase in slope be determined?
Thanks,
Bill
