Not if you run a double cardon joint. You set the pinion angle different with that. That is what I'm saying.

cool, do you have some example pics of the cardon joint?

seems to me like if your two link bars were the same length as the drive shaft than the pinion angle would always be right becuase the pivot points would be the same?

thats what I was saying. actually the link bars would have to be longer. It would need the pivot of the link bars to be in line with the front Ujoint. but if it were a two piece driveshaft and the rear section was very short you would still have problems with driveshaft plunge on a setup that has alot of travel.

If the rear section of the driveshaft were very long and the link bars were too and you had a slip joint there you would have very little issues. The slip joint allows more driveshaft plunge than the yoke in the trans also
