Not sure why you need to know the pinion angle which is 1.2 degrees downward sloping. RPM is 5500 to possibly 6000. New to all the suspension and driveline modifications but trying to learn.

The pinion angle is set based on the driveshaft angle which should be inline with the engine (i.e. crank angle) and by what type of bushings are being used in the control arms, right?

Also there seems to be a lot of confusion over the pinion angle of the rear end vs. total universal joint working angle at the pinion

I am trying to figure out if the engine angle is too steep relative to the driveshaft because it seems most "experts" say it should be 0 to 0.5 degrees.

I dont know, thats why I am asking. Trying to learn and figured you guys have the experience.
