Angle of LCA's

I am told 2 degrees is proper. The thing is, is this towards the axle or going down toward the frame? A little help for the ignorant one please. I am getting very tired of all the wheel hop. Thanks

Re: Angle of LCA's

Are you asking what hole to put your LCA's in? I don't get what you mean by 2 degrees on the LCA's. I think you are thinking of pinion angle? The pinion angle should be set at -2 degrees for maximun tire bite. This is done on the Torque arm and not the LCA's. LCA's you just drop in which ever hole you need. The bottom hole works best for straight line, but makes the rear loose comming out of corners, and the upper holes hold the rear more firmly planted comming out of the corners.

Re: Angle of LCA's

Thanks, I must have read it wrong somewhere. Going to have the torque arm angle checked. BTW, does anyone ever go above -2 degrees if the wheel hop persists?
