Thank's for the interest thus far Pinion angle 'eh? Someone care to specify which way 3º. As we're looking from diff face point of view, is pinion input shaft pointing in 3º angle downwards or up? I take it should be downwards - right? Since in launch it'll presumably crawl up a touch (due to axle rotation) thus ending up well aligned towards tranny and all. I bet a small amount of dosh on the following. If we would alter top support arm bolt holes on rear axle in such way that static pinion angle would be zero - it would not affect tyre bite in launch. For this statement to be true, the top arm angles (compared to sea level, bubble gauge or whatever) should be identical as prior to bolt hole altering. This is how adjustable 4-links work. We change link angles. If we were to change link attacments onto rear axle in such manner that oem pinion angle is maintained, but alter link angle from oem setup - we get different tyre bite in launch. This is my understanding on this issue thus far. Looking more info on this 'tho. [Report message to a moderator]
