Changed Rear Gears, Detailed Rear Axle, Corrected Pinion Angle Issue
When I changed my rear gears the shop confirmed the pinion angle was at 1.5 degrees up, causing a slight shudder under hard acceleration, it should be 1.5-2.0 degrees down. Installed Custom Works Products Comp Axle Pad/Locators and 3 degree wedges, shudder is now gone. Added a set of Bilsteins and painted the boots and housings grey to look close to stock while I was there. Rear end is much more solid and planted, handles better too. Used Solvents, wire brushes, a wire wheel on a drill, and a pressure washer to clean all the gunk. Then shot it with Black SEM self etch primer and Napa Semour Chassis Black. Was a very messy job but was worth the effort. Will touch up some of the undercoat in the middle and call it a job.
