zeitgeist57 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I need someone that can do one of two things to Cleetus - my '82 Ford F100: 1) Grind stock spring perches from the rear axle, rotate 12degrees, reweld. 2) Install wedges/u-bolts to rotate the axle 12 degrees. After lowering the truck, I have a 12 degree pinion angle, and the driveline now has ridiculous vibration throttle-on, throttle-off, and coasting. I'm going to replace the two U-joints, but need to adjust the pinion angle first. Please let me know if you know someone who can do this...if not yourself! PM with prices would be great. Thanks!

Buckeye1647545503 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Why can't you just shim it and be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 They don't have a 12 degree steel shim (that I've found)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POS VETT Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Are you sure it's 12 degrees needed ? It sounds a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
