Changing the pinion angle on new 12 bolt rear end? Q's
P.s. new 12 bolt went in the car (m6) and the pinion angle is outon the rear end, causing the driveshaft to smack and rub the e. brake line bracket in the tunnel of the underbody. How do you lower the angle of the rear end, ( the pinion angle) Adj. lower control arms? Relocation brackets? The drive shaft is TRASHED! Mabey I can get some pics up soon.

The only way to change the pinion angle is with an adjustable torque arm.

IMO something is installed wrong for the angle to be off that far. Double check that the front torque arm mount is installed correctly.

By chance, did you measure the angle? Most are only off a few degrees, yours sounds like it's off a lot.

Good luck with the 12-bolt.
