    Crazy to think how much the pinion can and does move.

    If you follow leaf spring drag racing, pinion angle is a HUGE factor. A lot of folks run -6 degrees or so. I know most here aren't concerned with that kind of stuff, but if you're going to include one form of racing you should include another as well

    I just want it to cruise smoothly down a perfectly smooth highway, folks.  But it has kept me from speeding…

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
