Question Dumb question I hope.. Quick Answer?

On blazers and jimmys are the drive shafts not perfectly center?

Are they at a slight angle to the left or right?

Re: Dumb question I hope.. Quick Answer?

lol ya.
I couldnt think of away to say it.
Damn....

I really thought It had a slight angle change in the pinion to the right or left.

4 link bar fell off and my axle hopped loose.
Lol.
NOT GOOD.

So anyways I had to make it back home with a loose rear end and we re aligned it but its off just by a little bit... Any suggestions?

Re: Dumb question I hope.. Quick Answer?

4 wheel drive rearends are longer than 2wd, but i'm pretty sure it should be lined up in the middle, make sure when you put the drive shaft on it lines up with trans mission. and how does a link bar fall off?

Re: Dumb question I hope.. Quick Answer?

Thats a great question.
The heims are both right threads.
Vibration cause the backing nuts to loosin up which cause the bar to spin which then unthreaded the bar off the heims.
