Default Lower link help!!!

Replaced my lower links with aluminum ones and now my driveshaft is at a weird angle wondering if it's bad for the driveshaft?

Check to see if the new links are the same length as the old ones. If they are different you will need to change the length of the upper links to get the right angle.

We would have to see pictures showing the angle of the drive shaft to be able to tell you if it is problem or not.

new links are too long, that moved you pinion angle down, and yes its bad for your driveshaft joints.

depends on how much and which direction the pinions are pitched. if they're pitched up a little from the factory position, you're fine and it won't hurt anything. if the pinions pitched lower your driveshaft will most likely bind and you'll need longer upper links. but a picture would help if you can post one
