Default Driveshaft angle explained

I've never seen it explained more clearly than this.

It t takes a $35 tool and a half hour to measure your pinion angle.

Nice vid. I know drive shafts give you problems at times but this makes it simple to understand. So much to learn...Thanks

I need to do this. I have a little vibration above 80mph...

I noticed it after I replaced a broken trans mount with a new one. The old one was broken so badly that pieces of the rubber were missing so I'm not positive what the height was before I put the new mount in. After the new mount, I noticed the vibration. I'm assuming the trans needs to be lowered slightly at the tailshaft but really need to measure the angles to be sure instead of guessing....
