Using the driver side upper control arm, set pinion angle as desired. The nominal
specification is 2.5 degrees. The pinion angle is measured as the difference
between the driveshaft and the differential flange angles as shown. Use a digital
inclinometer to find the angles and add/subtract them to find the pinion angle. The
pinion angle shown is: (3.20 counter-clockwise – 0.70 counter-clockwise = 2.50
degrees). To increase the angle, loosen the jam nuts and shorten the control arm;
to decrease the angle, lengthen the arm. See figures below for measuring the
angle.
Driver’s side is 1/16”
