Driveline angles. CV vs conventional
I thought I knew all I needed to know about driveline/pinion angles. ran across this graphic that explains there is a different alignment process for CV and standard joint shafts. Additionally, the shaft with more joints appears to be more finnicky than a standard stock shaft. I've got a couple 4* shims I plan to install in the next month or so as I get geared up for offroad season. Curious what you guys thought about this. Never seen it explained this way

Re: Driveline angles. CV vs conventional
essentially, if the angle at the tail housing doesn't closely match the pinion angle, could be a source of vibrations and they are not "in phase". So shimming the rear axle removes some angle and you can't shim the TC to get the same similar angle.

Re: Driveline angles. CV vs conventional
I'm still running a 2 joint shaft that's been extended to work with my SYE. Guess I won't be shimming the rear.
