|  Rear Axle Position.?
Greetings, Doing routine service and I was looking at the angle of the rear axle, and it's tilted down at a funky angle. It strikes me that it should be tilted up more, getting the drive shaft in a straighter line. Does that seem reasonable? s  |

I flipped the links mounts and then went in one full revolutions on the rod ends, and that got it the pinion up. Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. I need to stop drinking when I'm working on these things.  |

Check the angle at ride height it should be a lot better. If not then lengthen the top links a bit that should help as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Not sure if it really applies to rc but in 1:1 it makes a big difference. You want your transfer case output to be the same angle as your pinion angle.
