 Drive shaft angleSo as my Bronco was being placed on the flatbed today, the driver commented about the angle of the driveshaft and how it could produce any torque. Is there a max angle that should be watched out for? The driveshaft was built by a shop in Denver that had the Bronco there to measure. They didn't mention anything about the angle.
It's a 2.5" lift with stock drivetrain. Do I need to consider shims to change the angle of the diff? _________________ Sold: 1970 w/427W Injected Stroker |

Re: Drive shaft angle Yeah, that guy was blowing smoke... Sure, it's ideal to have a flat driveshaft, but that's what the CV and U-joint are for, to effectively transfer that power to the axle... You should see mine...
