Re: TOY: Re: Rear CV driveshaft Q

I think you mean lower than w/ a CV. as long as the ujoints are parrallel, 
rotate about 3 deg down with the pinion, should be good to go. this will 
sacrifice u-joint strength, but no vibs.

My CJ rear driveshaft runs at about 28 deg, or more, with no vibration at all.
