Putting my rear subframe back together I notice the diff flange sits to the left and up in the subframe tunnel, is this normal?

yes that is normal. -
It's so the u-joints have a slight angle in them. If they were completely straight they would wear in only one spot and would go bad real fast.Byron

This. I was taught in my apprenticeship that ujoints are designed to work at small angles, a zero offset setup will destroy them fast so it's either create the misalignment through design or run a different driveshaft. The ujoints in an offset setup will still allow for variance in assembly unlike a more rigid coupling.Originally posted by E30SPDFRK View Post1990 332i, 4 door
