Good call...very informative. It's always good to see things like this for that moment where you realize that it applies to what your about to do or seeing.:tup:

Cool vid... I have been doing a lot of reading on this regarding my Tacoma... I used the built in inclinometer on my my iPhone to get my angles.. The difference of two of my angles where more then 3 degees so I flipped my hanger bearing and the annoying vib is gone...

FYI.. The mounting tabs on a Toyota Tacoma's hanger bearing is off center.. Simply unbolting and rotating it and re mounting it changes the angle... They they are within .8 degrees of each other.

This makes me wonder about lowering and prop shaft angles and vibrations that may result. Also about changing from a double cardan to a single u-joint as DaveP has mentioned before...

I've known this for probably 40+ years. No big deal. The issue has always been attempting to explain it. This is great. Thanks.

Also I volunteer at our JC diesel and heavy equipment class. This will make a great teachers aid. I'll get it to the teacher.
