Originally posted by YosemiteSam View PostTo put it simply, you are changing your drive-line angles. This will increase the stress on parts like the giubo and center support bearing. Depending on how much you raised it, it could cause increased wear on and vibrations from your u-joints as well. Also, if you have a stock exhaust it could put increased stress on your exhaust mounts.
If you wanted to raise the engine in the chassis properly you would also have to raise the rear sub-frame and the center support bearing the same amount.

I think you should paint little oil pan kills on your driver's door.
5 makes you an ace, you know.
It's the oil pressure relief valve- realoem.com is very useful for this sort of thing.
Welcome to r3v. Where the barebottom spanking's just the start.
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves

If you look at an e30 on the lift, the drive shaft is not straight to begin with, it would take a severe amount for it to have any ill effect seeing the drive shaft has 2 u-joints. Any car with a solid rear axle has those joints moving to all kinds of angles.
Actually, I was referring to the vibration induced by having different angles on the two u-joints.
A single u-joint at even a slight angle will vibrate, the reason driveshafts have two of them is that they are phased so that they cancel each other's vibrations out. In order for this to work, both u-joints must be at equal and opposite angles.
If you increase one of those angles, that u-joint's inherent vibration will get larger and could possibly create a vibration felt in the car.sigpic
