    How did you fix your E30 5.0 driveline vibrations?

    Title says it, I've read forums over and over, I have a 5.0 with t5 in my e30, have always had teeth rattling vibrations 60-80 mph and Pretty bad over 80, it's in the driveshaft ive changed flywheel back to rearend, I've bought a protractor and I believe it's my pinion angle I've tried raising tail shaft with no change, so what's the fix? I've had it balanced twice

    You can download an app to check pinion angle

      If you believe it's the pinion angle, and you want us to tell you how to fix it, you'll need to provide us with the angle measurements.

        Best way to get an accurate differential measurement? I have a digital and old school protractor and neither I could get a good measurement of it

          There should be a flat tab on the underside of your diff right before the flange
