Pinion flange is @ 6 degrees. T-case flange is @ 6 degrees.

Problem being they arent parallel. It seems as if the dropped hanger is dropped too far.

Does a 12 degree shim sound too far fetched ?


Up front you basically forget the pinion angle, caster angle is what affects steering. Shim to correct that if needed. For pinion+caster angle correction, cut and rotate the steering knuckles. On a CV shaft, flanges are not parallel, see the section of the web page (above) about CV shaft angles. Or simple check is that the hanger drop height should be no more than the added shackle length to keep the angles near stock.
