I have suspected for a little while that there might be an issue with my driveline and that is has to do with the alignment of my driveline. I get a vibration as of 55 MPH.
From what I read, the trans should be angled down 2 degrees. Ideally the pinion should be angled up two degrees. However, I also understand that, from factory, C3 corvette pinion angles were at about 0.
I will have to recheck my measurements tomorrow, but I think my trans is spot on pointing down at 2 degrees. The pinion also seems to be pointing down and close to 4 degrees... I will have to recheck it.
So the pinion needs to be raised 4 to 6 degrees.
As I understand it (after reading tons of articles) to raise the pinion, you need to trim the snubber/doughnut bushing and or shim the rear crossmember.
Correct ?
I suspect trimming the snubber will not be enough. I will have to shim the crossmember. Hopefully that won't be as aggravating as it sounds...
