"pinion angle is the difference between the angle of the driveshaft to angle of the pinion shaft."

Sorry, THAT is DRIVELINE ANGLE, and has NOTHING to do with how the rear suspension will work.

It's been run through the wringer many times, and even DAVE MORGAN HISSELF corrected his "bible" in regards to pinion angle, what it is, what it does, and how to measure it.

Check the IHRA magazine that he used to have his articles in, and NO, I am not going to go back and dig out the issue again, it was late 2001 or 2002.

He never corrected the "Doorslammers" book in it's late reprints though......

Google pinion angle.......then hold on.

You leaf spring car guys KNOW!

I've added a photo of my car as my avatar, you might notice that it seems to be hooking well.
