Im not sure what youre talking aboot... the yoke bolts to the pinion gear in the rearend.... the pinion can be angled up or down with adjustable control arms for adjustment.... its necessary to have the right angle on the pinion... usually downward a few degrees cuz when you accelerate the rearend will rotate upwards...

I was referring to the front fork-like piece that ties to the subframe. The part in the front. I can't remember the name..
I was asking before though, if the spring perches would change the pinion angle on adjustables, or do both the spring perch, and the front fork-looking thing have to be adjusted??
I have pinion angle issues now, and I think it's because either my Control arm bushings are bad, too much suspension sag, or it could even be an engine mount..

Unfortunately, not yet. As soon as I finish gutting my car out, and getting the new rims/tires on, then it's suspension time..
At first, the Tranny mount had rotted out from the tailshaft housing seal being bad. I fixed that, along w/ swapping out U-joints, and I STILL get a nasty vibration after 50mph, similar to when the tranny mount was sh-tting out on me.. I'm leaning towards possibly the Engine mounts..
Oh yeah, I think I just found what I was talking about.. It's not a fork like I thought.. It's the front mounting point... For some reason I thought it was shaped a little different.. I think it was the Uppers that has the U-shaped mounting point..
Sorry for the confusion, and the minor Hi-jack..
