A Word about Pinion Angle
When the DSL is installed with the factory crossmember and transmission mount, the rear of the transmission is raised by the thickness of the DSL (1/4). Doing this causes a change in the driveline angle which may induce driveline vibration, reduce traction under acceleration or cause unwanted stress in the driveline.
Therefore, to ensure optimum performance it is recommended to correct the pinion angle change.
This can be easily accomplished in one of several ways:
- Use a Stifflers Crossmember (On 79~98 Mustangs and Fox bodies)
- Maintain stock crossmember and replace the OEM mount with an Energy Suspension
mount (P/N: M-6068-1SFA). This mount is shorter than OEM and will account for thickness of DSL.
(On 79~98 Mustangs and Fox bodies)
- If equipped, re-set pinion angle using adjustable rear control arms.
