I am in then middle of setting up my rear end. My pinion angle stay good and it travels up and down fine. But my drive shaft pulls out, way out. I noticed that my axle mount are not exactly centered under my axle. they are a little more to the rear. Could this be my problem?

from what i see is that your axle is centered in the notch where it should be but at ride height. see how your bars are angling up. when the suspension travels they are going to move down. and since they are in an arch they are going to seem to get longer which is pulling your axle back. inturn pulling out the drive shaft. please show us a pic on how far its coming out.. so when the 4 link bars are parralell to the goround will be when its puled out the furthest.

your upper front four link bar ends would be better above the axle thats whats pulling on your drive shaft ... from what it looks like in the picture or just make the mounting points higher ....... i think maybe im wrong

The way i have it now, the wheels will be centered in the wheel wells when layed out.

your uppers bars link mounts on the frame are waaaaaaay to low. Move the top bars front mounts up higher. the rear is moving backwards during its the 4-links arc. youre creating more of an arcing motion than a rotating motion

is it ok to have the wishbone mounted to the rear end like that??
