    Can someone give me an idea of how to adjust the pinion angle on a coil spring car with a 3 link wishbone setup? Since I've baged my Cad I've been noticing some vibration that seems like it's coming from the drive shaft. Kinda worried it's gona throw a U joint. Thanks.

    Havn't got under there yet. Plan on doing it this weekend. Just noticed it getting more annoying as of late. I've done this setup on 2 other late model cads with no problems. Probably just wore out. Although I'll look into shims too. BTW, I won't let AIM with'n 10 feet of my money. The sell crap, crap and oh yeah, CRAP!!!
