Happy Friday to all...I have a question regarding front pinion angle on a SAC'd '02 Tacoma with a Diamond front axle w/ 4WU 3 link kit. Simply, what should it be set at?I've been fighting alignment issues for quite some time now. I've been to multiple alignment shops and the end result is the same.Any suggestions/ ideas are appreciated.Thanks.
Have you called brian?
Also, are you running a high pinion diff, what about a cv?
Diamond built the axle to OEM specs with the exception of a 62" WMS. It is a high pinion diff.The problem is finding the correct caster at this point. Adjusting the upper link changes the toe also which is easy to correct.Dunno, been up & down with the adjustments and can't seem to find that 'happy' spot.
Thanks for the photo.I was hoping I could get the proper caster setting by adjusting the upper link. I do not want to turn the knuckles if it can be avoided.Thanks for the replies.
I'm not concerned of the driveline angle rather, I was thinking I could use the flange to get whatever angle I need.Now, knowing one can set the caster off of the knuckles, I'm good with that.Now the question remains... what is the correct angle?I do have a CV on the DS so no concerns there, or vibes for that matter.Thanks for your thoughts on the matter.
Was searching for something and came across this old jew. BUMP to a classic thread
Cut and turn your knuckles. It sucks that you might have to do it but you will end up happier in the long run. . And it's pretty easy.I am just going through this all with my 4wheel underground 3 link kit. Brian recommends 6 degrees of caster and I feel that even up to 8 degrees would be fine if you are running a 35"and bigger tire. Yours need to point your pinion directly at the tcase output... The 3.5 degrees of caster is definitely not enough. .
How much more caster will you end up with after you cut/ turn?I'm running 33's and will not go larger. I'll try the 6 degrees via upper link adjustment and go from there.Thanks for the replies guys.
