Where do you measure the pinion angle on a Ranger?

Where do you measure the pinion angle on a Ranger?

The pinion angle on the rear end is taken from the face of the pinion yoke (or flange if you have a flange instead of a yoke). Some people have measured the angles from the bottom of the yoke instead the face of it. Just be consistent in the method you’re using, but measuring from the face is the best.

Which is the correct pinion angle for a rear differential?

For a rear differential this would mean the axel would need to be rolled forward 6 degrees. One you have your pinion angle figured out, set the yoke (or flange) at 90* degrees and your spring perches to the desired angle. Or, you can set your pinion to the desired angle, and set your perches level. Once you have them set, weld them in place.
