[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 438401, member: 18789"] Not sure what you mean about is Tom Wood's worth the extra....it's a fine brand, as are others. I always order from Adam's Driveshafts. I have ordered shims from Tom. either way for a driveshaft I would order non greasable u-joints and a non greasable centering ball. I'm very confused by your angles listed in the pic. what is the current status of the Jeep? Is it sitting on all 4 wheels when you measured? Are shims removed or installed? What size shim at this point? You had a 17 degree driveshaft angle with the axle drooping, I don't see how that turned into 19 unless you changed the shim. Same for the pinion angle, I'm pretty sure stock is 6 degrees, so did you swap to a 4 degree shim for this latest measuring to get 10 degrees? Also....the yoke is not a good place to measure driveshaft angles. The best place is the cast in circle on either side of the diff cover at the back of the axle housing. [/QUOTE]
