Rear end angle?
 

Hey everyone, so i have a question regarding my 1989 toyota pickpup. I recently had my rear leafs swapped with 63in chevy leaf springs and now my rear end pumpkin is sticking straight forward which isnt lining up with the drive shaft. I now have a huge vibration at around 45 to 53 mph.. could that cause the vibration? if so how do i get it angled back going with the driveshaft? remind you i have 2in blocks in the rear and im trying not to lose height.

Thanks

you would have to weld new spring perches to the axle and do what they Call clock the rear end essentially tilting the pumpkin. Or get a cv drive shaft.

thank you, ill look into a cv joint! have you heard much about using a shim by chance?

Yes I know about shims but they only make small corrections.

Sounds to me like its your pinion angle as said above. For a one piece shaft, you want the driveshaft mounting flanges to be at the same angle on both the t-case mount and the pinion mount. Iphones/pods are really handy for that if you have the angle finder app. For a two piece shaft...I'm not sure.

Take a gander through this:
