Bad pinion angle?

#1 Post by jeepingpw » Sat Nov 05, 2011 12:43 pm

My '95 Disco (2" suspension lift) has a very bad pinion angle.

I have checked all bushings & everything is tight.

I even put a jack under the pinion & jacked it up to see if the diff would tilt up, it didn't.

Don't know how to correct this?

Quickest fix is to order a pinion conversion kit & fit the UJ'd prop. Otherwise you'll have to clock the axle by either shortening the lower trailing arms or lengthening the top 'A' frame joint. Either way works but you'll then end up with the lower spring mounts off level, not a big issue but worth being aware off.

QT do a pinion conversion kit & I think Justin at Lucky8 might have one in stock.... give him a call.
