Ok guys, so I installed a steeda adjustable upper control arm yesterday on my car. I have been searching for the past hour on google and want to make sure I adjusted Pinion angle right because I have a bit of noise coming from back there. Keep in mind I do not have a lift so the car was not perfectly level when I did this. I had the front of the car on ramps, and stands on the back under the axle. I measured with my angle finder the front half of the driveshaft, and then measured the pinion flange angle. I then subtracted the pinion flange angle from the angle of the first half of the driveshaft. Correct? The directions say to set it from 1.5 to 3.5 downward. So my final number should come out to be a negative or positive number? I set it for 2.5 yesterday. thanks!

thank you for posting those links they were very helpful. On a lowered car you want to make the UCA shorter than stock correct?
