[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 438147, member: 18789"] Think I got mine from Home Depot for like $10. Definitely a great tool to have. If you calculate your angle difference to be 10°, you need slightly less than half that for correction. In order words, if you measure 10° difference, you don’t need 10°, you need more like 4°. The shim changes the angle by roughly double (due to lifting the pinion and driveshaft simultaneously which does double duty on the angle correction), and you want the pinion to be slightly low, hence why I said if your difference was 10, you’d want 4 (and not 5). It’s not a super exact science but you’ll have to be close. [/QUOTE]
