Fw: How does raising the rear

Unless I'm completely dense(which is possible), air shocks do not affect the pinion angle. It raises the body away from the axle, but doesn't move the drive shaft and rear axle. Air shocks just give the body move room to move up and down.

If the body of the car was fixed(unable to move), then the air shocks would push down on the springs, and maybe get some slight pinion angle. But unless the car is going over some very serious bumps, there should be no pinion angle change. Air shocks have been around for a long time and I've never heard of anyone complaining about pinion angle vibration or any vibration after them being install. Mys elf incliuded. jm2cw

My 64 Polara has had a vibration for a long time. I've suspected it was the pinion angle since the car is raised a few inches in the rear, so a few weeks a go I let some air out of the rear shocks and a lot of the vibration went away, which kinda proves the culprit is probably the pinion angle. Just FYI.
