Pinion angles

I need some help with pinion angle!! I have two piece drive shaft with CV right after carrier bearing,what would be ideal pinion angle with this set up or what it should be anyone ...thanks in advance..

 

Mine does had it custom made do to vibration issues but I don’t know what the right angle should be, still experiencing slight vibes and was thinking maybe someone had same drive shaft, I believe older Prerunners had same drive shaft...

 

Jberry813 my angles are as fallow
1st shaft is at 0.5*- up
2nd shaft is at 3.0*- up
Pinion is at 0* thet is where I zeroed out angle finder... by looking at these my 2nd u- joint angle is at 2.5* and pinion would be at 3* with this take off vibes are at minimum and still have some highway vibes.... before i hve had all shafts and 2nd u joint at about 0.5* angle but pinion was at 1.5 this way my highway vibration were gone ,like silk but take off were bad... righ now im trying to get rid off take of vibes and that is why i was asking what kind of angles they should be...had 3* and 2* axle shim on ig right now i have 1* to give it a shot... all my angles are messed up because i fliped carrier bearing up side down and the way it sits right now vibes are some what mild from start and highway speeds...

 

Get the Tremec app, for your phone. Enter the type of drive shaft, and follow the instructions.

 

much easier to measure joint working angles than shaft angles from one starting point.

Zero out angle finder at tcase, measure angle of first shaft, difference is first joint. Zero angle finder on first shaft, measure second shaft, calculate difference. Zero again on second shaft, measure pinion flange.


Like stated OP to have a proper setup, your rear pinion needs to be at zero or just slightly pointed down to account for a lil axle wrap. I would get rid of the CB spacer and make the joint at the tcase as little as possible as well seems as how there will be no in phase joint to cancel out that joint.

 

Help me understand, because I don't see a two-piece driveshaft in these diagrams?

 

what about on a 2017 DCOR TACOMA
