    Pinon angle calculation

    Does anyone know or have a link to tell me how to set pinion angle correctly? Ever since I re-geared to 4:88's I've had a vibration/noise around 45 or so mph. Drive slower it's fine drive faster it's ok also. I thought it was the driveline itself, so I had a whole new unit built and balanced...
