Pinion angle


So installed new diff. On removing driveshaft, the uni at the diff was tight. Removed and has strange wear patterns. How do you adjust the pinion angle on the 65s when they have a 4 link rear?? Cheers

Just wondering, has it ever been replaced or is it original? Reason I ask is if it's been replaced but the yokes were squeezed and that wasn't corrected, that could make it tight. I've seen that many times.

 I was thinking the same. That end is original. i should measure the yolk somehow. How would that be fixed?

Usually a properly placed smack on the correct area of the yoke will loosen up a tight universal joint if the ears weren't squeezed to bad.

 X2  I had to do this to compensate for some slight changes in the front angles likely from the 700R conversion.

After pressing and with clips in, always give one side of the yoke at a cup a slight blow, and the joint will free up. Just went through this exercise on my 65. A blow brought it back no problem.

You can also shim behind the uppers at the frame crossmember. If that's more of the angle you're looking for.
