Pinion Angle...

[TARZAN]

Just bought my car, and it has a lil wheel hop out of the hole. It came with Hotchkis adjustable uppers supposedly, and its got a 9" swapped in it. I'm willing to pull it up on a chassis lift to adjust the pinion angle correctly, just wanted to check and see whats optimum for this car.

Thanks,

negative 4 degrees

Set your preload (car just sitting there with you in it) to negative 4 degrees or 4 degrees downward. When you build boost or accelerate it will straiten right out to desired angle. Wheel hop happens when preload becomes too positive.

Thanks alot, I'll see if I can fit under there or at least pull it up on a drive-on lift....
