How do I set the pinion angle ???..SSM bars install

[302efi]

Where is the adjustment at ??? What do I loosen to make the adjustment ?

The directions don't say nothing about how to set it

Are they uppers or lowers?
If they are uppers, go to baselinesuspensions.com
Heres a good thread as well, but Kevin explains it very well on his site.

If they are lowers, well ya need some adjustable uppers.

I don't think SSM made adjustable uppers. ???

 

[TIMMY2734]

thats what i thought. Im kind of assuming that they are lowers fo some reason or another....

 

[302efi]

yes they are lowers...

I thinking the adjustment has something to do with the 1/4 pin ???

 

[TIMMY2734]

not with the lowers. That changes other stuff, not the pinion angle.

 

[302efi]

In the directions it says that the 1/4 holes are on the SSM bracketsto give you a ref of 6 deg of pinion angle

Then after you install the lowers then you are suppose to set the car on its own weight and check to see what the pinion angle is, between 4 and 6.

If the pinion angle in off spec, it says something about talking out the 1/4 pin and turn the rearend until you get the angle in spec

Picturing it in my head....it does seem if you change the length of the lower it will rotate the housing thus changing the pinion angle. I ordered a set of lowers with the tie-rod style front and adjustable spring height. Should be interesting trying to get that all how I need it.

To do it properly, you first adjust your lower arms, assuming that you can, to center the axle. Then you adjust the uppers for your pinion angle.

It will be affected by however you set your lowers, but ya need adjustable uppers to do it correctly.

The ssm direrctions do give how to set the pinion angle, you will need an angle finder, and before you drill the new hole for the new bolt set it up. look at page#5 I sent you.
