Thoughts on steering issue

Sure. I’m pretty sure 6.5. I threw the angle finder on the driveshaft as well. It was less than I thought, but still pretty bad.

Honestly, that doesn't look terrible. As long as your pinion isn't angling down, which would give you 6+ degrees of caster, I wouldn't stress too much.
If you measure the angle on the edge of the output flange, does it measure zero?

I hadn’t checked, but it should be pretty damn close to what factory was. But the down angle from the t-case to the shaft is ugly.

I’ll check tomorrow. Today was a busy day adding a Jeep to the family. “Mostly” for the kids.

It’s SO cool. I may have already bought a warn winch, wireless controller, and a stubby winch bumper. Bumper in the mail. I already wired up and tested the winch. It’s going to run on a rechargeable 9v.

Gonna have to get some heavier springs to support that winch and bumper. LOL!!!

It’s ok. I look forward to getting my rake back, that I lost with the large battery. I hate a level gladiator. No departure angle.
