i think we are talking about different things . Pinion angle is the angle the yoke is pointed up or down but im wondering about the yoke moved 2 inches to one side of the carrier which would cause a weird angle in relationship to the engine/tranny (if centered in the frame). The axle u picked up might have the yoke centered in the carrier but i have seen them moved off center. hope u understand what im trying to find out. basically a left/right angle not an up/down angle.
