OK, I've installed my taclink. I need to set the pinion angle. Should it be nose up or nose down on the rear-end? Right now it's nose up. Any takers?

just experiment. There isnt that much adjusting you can do on it. Set it one way, drive it, repeat.

I couldnt tell you the exact angle I settled on, but it is a individual taste thing.

I've been told 2 to 3 degrees, but I wasn't positive is the nose was up or down. It's a pain to set this damn traclink also. Thanks.

Yep, TRACLINK. I am working on it. I went from +3 to -4. The vibration is better, I think I should be at about -2. It just takes about 20 minutes or so to adjust. Pain.

You shouldn't need much more than shocks, and maybe a torque arm, or????...

Well, a traclink is a big pain. Just the install was a pain. I think I got the pinion angle OK. Now it's OK in 1st through 4th. As soon as I hit 5th, I get nothing but vibration. So now I have to TS that damn problem. I only have a couple days and I have to work friday and saturday night.
