Dale,

The pinion angle is close, but i "eyeballed" it. The IPD instructions said that the angle at the differential and the angle coming out of the center bearing should be "opposite and equal".

I used a magnetic protractor to accurately measure the angles on the couplers, not on the driveshaft itself. When I followed IPD's instructions and set the angles "equal and opposite", the vibration was significant, starting almost from the start and really "humming" at 40 mph.

When i "eyeballed" the angle to minimize and binding at the differential, the vibration really doesn't show up until about 70mph.

If you have another method of adjusting the torque rods to smooth it out, I'm most appreciative.

Stormie
