You have a talent to teach as well as being a good mechanic. Thanks for posting this...very informative.
Excellent tutorial on what can be a very confusing subject when simply explained and not shown. Well done Alex.
Videos like this are hard to find. Well done!
this was one of the best videos I've found describing the reasoning for shims and driveline angles. Thanks!
Wow, a video that actually shows you how to fix something, not just identify the problem. Thanks
Well, I thought your explanation was great, fantastic even.
I purchased a set of rear leaf springs that had single 3 degree shims fitted to each one "supposedly" to correct the pinon angle being raised to far after a 2" lift on my 4x4.
That's all well and good but they had the shims facing the wrong way around with the thin side to the front which I now know made it worse.
So, I went out and bought larger shims & fitted them the same way again which only made things even worse and I couldn't work out why. I now know why, so thank you very much. I should be able to get it sorted out now.
Cheers.
Awesome. I have been reading a lot of forum posts on lifts and never could figure out the theory behind lifts and getting the drive line in sync. Nice to see a young kid that has so much good knowledge and the ability to convey it so well.
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I had no idea how to correct the pinion angle after adding lift blocks. Great explanation.
Same hear. Bad vibes at 70.after tapered lift blocks
This is literally the BEST video I have found about pinion angle!!! Awesome work man. Subscribed ✅
Great explanation, i now have a better understanding of drive shaft vibration, thanks. I like how you explain while drawing
Great video! I'm pretty sure about 80% of off road shops don't even know how to fix this, they just install whatever is in the kit. Also, you remind me of Cameron on Ferris Bueller's Day Off! Oh, cool cat.
This is exactly what I needed thanks dude. I was struggling trying to find a solid video that showed and explained everything
That’s the best video I have watched on the vibration subject. Thank you
Excellent educational video most people would simply install a kit without paying closer attention to the shift in the structure of the vehicle and how important the angles are for vibrations, wear and tear.
You killed it. For some reason, the way you explained this concept made me totally get it. I'm an educator myself, and if you haven't already, you should consider that career!
Well done. You'd make a great teacher .....if you're not one already. Keep the tutorials coming!
Hey Alex, thanks for creating this video. You made a complicated topic easy for me to understand and helped with my own lift project. Keep em coming!
I comment rarely, but this was perfectly explained! I don't need to watch another video on drive-line angles. Thank you
Best video on springs I’ve seen! Good job 👍
Excellent video. Clear and concise. Thank you.
Thanks for explaining this clearly and also providing solutions! Great video!
GREAT video! THANK YOU for the good clear explanation
Excellent video. Very well said. Good instruction, very thorough. 👍
Thank you great work absolutely brilliant clear and straight to the point from Australia.
Cameron from Ferris Buellers Day Off did a great job explaining pinion angles. Thanks!
Wish I had seen this tutorial 10 videos ago! Thanks for the great info👍🏽!
Finally someone who explains this to where I can understand thank you
Excellent video! Installed slightly taller springs on my Lexus GX and now getting a slight vibration at highway speeds from the rear end. I think this is the issues and your video explains so well what it might be. Thank you.
Great video!!! Thank you so much for this through explanation! I even went and explained it to my wife... AND SHE UNDERSTOOD! :)
Thanks! Just the info I needed! very cut and clear!
well done and very well explained by someone who really knows stuff.
Finally a good explanation of how this works!
Great video -- thank you for the effort you've put into this!
Great vid. I'll add it's recommended to have the rear diff down 1 degree from the transmission / transfer case output. When you're driving it will torque the rear differential and it will lift a small amount. That way when you're cruising they're parallel but parked it's down 1 degree
Just got my bronco back from the spring shop for new springs and 1 inch lift, it’s vibrating like crazy. It appears they set it up for a single joint and it has a factory double cardan! Thanks for the very informative video. I know what to ask them about now
Great video, and your correct Paul is the man!!
this actually helped me a lot. I was installing my CS009R springs and I had the axle resting on a jack while I was working on getting the axle lined up with the pins on the springs and it rolled and the slip yolk came out of my drive shaft. I thought I got it lined up the way it was but then I had massive driveline vibes at highway speed. A little research lead me to YotaTech which lead me here and I realized I was about 70-80 degrees out of phase. took my shaft off and I found an old match mark so I lined up in the zerks and got them all lined up with the yokes in line on each end and boom no more vibes.
Ben watchin driveshaft videos last hour.... this one makes sense!! Time to get to work!!... thank man!
Great information. and Yes! you have a talent to teach. Great video.
Great video overall. 👍Some good info I needed to align my pinion angle.
Very informative and addressed my slight vibration in my truck
Glad I found this, I may have installed my shims in backwards. Good info👍🏻
I did TWICE...
Some Great Vids Alex.. I have an 87 4x4 pickup and your videos have helped me out a Ton.. just installed new 2" OME leafs, shocks all around and bj spacers..and have a slight vibration now, looks like some shims will be the fix
Glad I was able to help out. Hopefully the shims cure your problems.
Awesome video and explains the why and how to fix the issue.
Great vid - you explain things so well
Very well done young man, 2 thumbs up!!!
Great info, no bs. You may have just saved my jeep!
Brilliant. Outstanding explanations mate.
Awesome vid. Love those old yotas. I was going to purchase the same skid plate it's good to know about pinion angle change. Would rather install all parts needed when your underneath the truck. Keep the build going looks awesome!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked the video. The BudBuilt skidplate is a nice piece but it will change the pinion angle. Having all the stuff at once is a plus. Thanks for the feedback.
Great video have a slight vibration after lifting my Jeep more so I'll try this. Thanks
Good explanation.... thanks for taking time to post......
Great job man. Very helpful!
🙌🏼 thanks bro my grandfather said a simple idea making a big difference.
👍👍👍👍👍👍. Thank you for this video. U just save me $400 on a drive shaft I didn’t need. Now the vibration is gone on my Jeep.
Best pinion angle video on CZcams.
Thank you for this great video. Very informative. So I may not need to buy a SYE and a new drive shaft. But before I do anything I’ll buy a inclinometer to get the angles correctly measured.
Perfectly explained, good video
thanks for sharing, this answers a question i had about the driveshaft it's self...i have a 4runner almost restored with the same vent windows...Creator bless...doug
Great explanation, well done.
Great video you explain things well.
great video very simple and easy explanation
Explained perfectly!! Thanks!
Thanks for this vid it helped me with my yoda🤘
Watched your video on pinion angle, and it was very informative. Had a question though, if the angles were reversed, meaning if the rear was 86 and the front was 82, if you use the axle shims would you put the in facing the opposite way as shown in the video. Hope this makes sense.
Toyota, hire this guy now.
Loved the video thanks, can you explain how the angles should be on a 2 piece drive shaft
I have a shutter on take off only, has a 4" sky jacker lift installed
great information, great video!
Thank you for your good explanation
ok. i own a freightliner truck. my transmission is 4 degree down. then i have 4 U joints after all the way back to the rear end. its a 3 piece shaft. also i have 2 center bearings. the rear end in 10 degree UP. and the shaft is about 1 degree on all the joints. I'm having a big vibration after 50 mph. i have change all the joints. tires. rims even the shaft. what do you think i have to do? do i have to bring the pinion down? and how much down? ( and its a very long shaft to.) tks
Great explanation , thank's !!!
Alex your video is A1 and yes Paul at 4Crawler makes some nice gear
Good video, very educational.
WOW thanks that was useful. i want to get a 6" lift kit for my k20 suburban and i dont want to lower the drive case how i can do that? get longer drive shaft ?
Awesome video! What I wonder is if this fixed the newer Tacomas that have the carrier bearing?
Great video ! Thanks for the info!
Great video, thanks but i have a question what happens when is a 2 piece driveshaft? Im doing an axle swap from a newer truck and is bigger then my stock one
Thank you. Excellent teaching skill here, teachers take note. SUBED! :)
the beggining was my favorite lol
I appreciate this video, thank you
Great job explaining it
Thanks for the vid....just to confirm, putting the fat end of the wedge forward towards the pinion/front of truck, is how you lower the pinion angle, by pushing the axle down , is the correct? all over tacomaworld, there are people saying that the skinny side goes forward, i'm pretty sure that would tilt the pinion up..?
Wow awesome explanation
Very well explained !
Thanks for this info in this video
Yeah excellent tutorial :) thanks !!
Very informative video thanks
loved the video i am quite a car guy myself i do it for a living i was wondering if you have any info on angles for the new constant velocity joined drive shafts jeeps are running basically i have a customer killing those shafts with a bad lift kit and wants the cheapest least mods to just fix that angle i was thinking shimming the tranny lower where it bolts to the frame prob cheapest fix any other ideas or any technical info on the angles and levels required for those?
Thanks for making that. I lifted my S10 and have bad shakes from the driveline. I think that was the issue
Nice video!! I have a 1985 4runner SR5 5 speed, and i have a 4 in lift on it with the double cardan driveshaft, how is the drive shaft to be mounted?
Nice Job Alex
all makes sense to me now...thanks much
Great video! Thanks!
Great video. I will definitely be sharing your Chanel :-)
Would this type of measuring still work for a Toyota with a center carrier bearing? Or would the adjustments have to be done a different way?
Good video, but why is there a delorean and a flux capacitor on the paper?
have a 31 model a small block 350 trans posi rear 29 tall tires. problem . trans out put shaft lower than pinon about 2 3/4 inch difference between them was told to put pinon 2 degrees low with engine manifold level. what you think thanks very much
Really like the video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it. I really liked how this video came out. Dixie used to be able to fit under doors but she has grown to be quite fat.
Thanks for sharing!
Just bought a 91 Toyota Pickup w/5" Lift Kit.
Once in a while there's a loud grinding and vibration.
How can I find out if its the Drive Shaft or Pinion angle into the Front Differential?
