You have a talent to teach as well as being a good mechanic. Thanks for posting this...very informative.

this was one of the best videos I've found describing the reasoning for shims and driveline angles. Thanks!

Excellent tutorial on what can be a very confusing subject when simply explained and not shown. Well done Alex.

Videos like this are hard to find. Well done!

Wow, a video that actually shows you how to fix something, not just identify the problem. Thanks

Well, I thought your explanation was great, fantastic even. I purchased a set of rear leaf springs that had single 3 degree shims fitted to each one "supposedly" to correct the pinon angle being raised to far after a 2" lift on my 4x4. That's all well and good but they had the shims facing the wrong way around with the thin side to the front which I now know made it worse. So, I went out and bought larger shims & fitted them the same way again which only made things even worse and I couldn't work out why. I now know why, so thank you very much. I should be able to get it sorted out now. Cheers.

Great video! I'm pretty sure about 80% of off road shops don't even know how to fix this, they just install whatever is in the kit. Also, you remind me of Cameron on Ferris Bueller's Day Off! Oh, cool cat.

Awesome. I have been reading a lot of forum posts on lifts and never could figure out the theory behind lifts and getting the drive line in sync. Nice to see a young kid that has so much good knowledge and the ability to convey it so well.

I comment rarely, but this was perfectly explained! I don't need to watch another video on drive-line angles. Thank you

I cannot thank you enough for this video. I had no idea how to correct the pinion angle after adding lift blocks. Great explanation.

Same hear. Bad vibes at 70.after tapered lift blocks

You killed it. For some reason, the way you explained this concept made me totally get it. I'm an educator myself, and if you haven't already, you should consider that career!

This is literally the BEST video I have found about pinion angle!!! Awesome work man. Subscribed ✅

Excellent educational video most people would simply install a kit without paying closer attention to the shift in the structure of the vehicle and how important the angles are for vibrations, wear and tear.

This is exactly what I needed thanks dude. I was struggling trying to find a solid video that showed and explained everything

Hey Alex, thanks for creating this video. You made a complicated topic easy for me to understand and helped with my own lift project. Keep em coming!

Great explanation, i now have a better understanding of drive shaft vibration, thanks. I like how you explain while drawing

Excellent video! Installed slightly taller springs on my Lexus GX and now getting a slight vibration at highway speeds from the rear end. I think this is the issues and your video explains so well what it might be. Thank you.

That’s the best video I have watched on the vibration subject. Thank you

Well done. You'd make a great teacher .....if you're not one already. Keep the tutorials coming!

Cameron from Ferris Buellers Day Off did a great job explaining pinion angles. Thanks!

👍👍👍👍👍👍. Thank you for this video. U just save me $400 on a drive shaft I didn’t need. Now the vibration is gone on my Jeep.

Excellent video. Clear and concise. Thank you.

Finally someone who explains this to where I can understand thank you

Best video on springs I’ve seen! Good job 👍

Great vid. I'll add it's recommended to have the rear diff down 1 degree from the transmission / transfer case output. When you're driving it will torque the rear differential and it will lift a small amount. That way when you're cruising they're parallel but parked it's down 1 degree

Toyota, hire this guy now.

Wish I had seen this tutorial 10 videos ago! Thanks for the great info👍🏽!

GREAT video! THANK YOU for the good clear explanation

this actually helped me a lot. I was installing my CS009R springs and I had the axle resting on a jack while I was working on getting the axle lined up with the pins on the springs and it rolled and the slip yolk came out of my drive shaft. I thought I got it lined up the way it was but then I had massive driveline vibes at highway speed. A little research lead me to YotaTech which lead me here and I realized I was about 70-80 degrees out of phase. took my shaft off and I found an old match mark so I lined up in the zerks and got them all lined up with the yokes in line on each end and boom no more vibes.

Thank you great work absolutely brilliant clear and straight to the point from Australia.

Thanks for explaining this clearly and also providing solutions! Great video!

Some Great Vids Alex.. I have an 87 4x4 pickup and your videos have helped me out a Ton.. just installed new 2" OME leafs, shocks all around and bj spacers..and have a slight vibration now, looks like some shims will be the fix

Glad I was able to help out. Hopefully the shims cure your problems.

Just got my bronco back from the spring shop for new springs and 1 inch lift, it’s vibrating like crazy. It appears they set it up for a single joint and it has a factory double cardan! Thanks for the very informative video. I know what to ask them about now

Great video have a slight vibration after lifting my Jeep more so I'll try this. Thanks

Ben watchin driveshaft videos last hour.... this one makes sense!! Time to get to work!!... thank man!

Excellent video. Very well said. Good instruction, very thorough. 👍

Thanks! Just the info I needed! very cut and clear!

Great video -- thank you for the effort you've put into this!

Brilliant. Outstanding explanations mate.

Awesome vid. Love those old yotas. I was going to purchase the same skid plate it's good to know about pinion angle change. Would rather install all parts needed when your underneath the truck. Keep the build going looks awesome!

Thank you. I'm glad you liked the video. The BudBuilt skidplate is a nice piece but it will change the pinion angle. Having all the stuff at once is a plus. Thanks for the feedback.

Great video!!! Thank you so much for this through explanation! I even went and explained it to my wife... AND SHE UNDERSTOOD! :)

well done and very well explained by someone who really knows stuff.

Very well done young man, 2 thumbs up!!!

Great video overall. 👍Some good info I needed to align my pinion angle.

Great video, and your correct Paul is the man!!

Finally a good explanation of how this works!

Great vid - you explain things so well

Very informative and addressed my slight vibration in my truck

Thank you for this great video. Very informative. So I may not need to buy a SYE and a new drive shaft. But before I do anything I’ll buy a inclinometer to get the angles correctly measured.

Glad I found this, I may have installed my shims in backwards. Good info👍🏻

🙌🏼 thanks bro my grandfather said a simple idea making a big difference.

Awesome video and explains the why and how to fix the issue.

Great information. and Yes! you have a talent to teach. Great video.

Great job man. Very helpful!

Best pinion angle video on KZread.

Perfectly explained, good video

Great info, no bs. You may have just saved my jeep!

thanks for sharing, this answers a question i had about the driveshaft it's self...i have a 4runner almost restored with the same vent windows...Creator bless...doug

Good explanation.... thanks for taking time to post......

Great explanation, well done.

great video very simple and easy explanation

Great explanation , thank's !!!

great information, great video!

Minimum Operating Angle Of 1/2 Degree A slight angle is required to prevent U-joints from wearing out from brinelling, providing a smooth flow of power through the driveline. It is similar to intentionally putting a pre-load on a wheel bearing. Maximum Operating Angle Of 3 Degrees

Great video you explain things well.

Explained perfectly!! Thanks!

Great video ! Thanks for the info!

Alex your video is A1 and yes Paul at 4Crawler makes some nice gear

Great video. Using shim will solve pinion angle problem. But it will lead to change in caster angle which In turn will largely affect the stability of the vehicle at high speeds.

No such thing as caster on a rear axle (without steering).

Good video, very educational.

Thank you for your good explanation

Nice Job Alex

Watched your video on pinion angle, and it was very informative. Had a question though, if the angles were reversed, meaning if the rear was 86 and the front was 82, if you use the axle shims would you put the in facing the opposite way as shown in the video. Hope this makes sense.

Great job explaining it

Very well explained !

the beggining was my favorite lol

Wow awesome explanation

Thanks for this vid it helped me with my yoda🤘

Thanks for this info in this video

Thanks for making that. I lifted my S10 and have bad shakes from the driveline. I think that was the issue

I appreciate this video, thank you

ok. i own a freightliner truck. my transmission is 4 degree down. then i have 4 U joints after all the way back to the rear end. its a 3 piece shaft. also i have 2 center bearings. the rear end in 10 degree UP. and the shaft is about 1 degree on all the joints. I'm having a big vibration after 50 mph. i have change all the joints. tires. rims even the shaft. what do you think i have to do? do i have to bring the pinion down? and how much down? ( and its a very long shaft to.) tks

Great video! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

Really like the video, thanks.

Very informative video thanks

Loved the video thanks, can you explain how the angles should be on a 2 piece drive shaft I have a shutter on take off only, has a 4" sky jacker lift installed

Good explanation

Well done.... Thanks!

Thanks for the help

Good job man.

Yeah excellent tutorial :) thanks !!

all makes sense to me now...thanks much

Awesome video! What I wonder is if this fixed the newer Tacomas that have the carrier bearing?

Thanks man that really helped

Thank you. Excellent teaching skill here, teachers take note. SUBED! :)

Brilliant thank you

Great video. I will definitely be sharing your Chanel :-)

Glad you enjoyed it. I really liked how this video came out. Dixie used to be able to fit under doors but she has grown to be quite fat.

Good vid man
