Foxbody Mustang Stocker Pinion Angle?

futura302 · 08-19-2019, 10:28 AM

Curious what all of my fellow Foxbody Mustang stocker guys are running for pinion angle? I have an 85 notchback, stick car, all solid bushings in the rear control arms, control arms are all in the stock location, QA1 single adjustable rear shocks. All of my research so far leads me to believe -1 to -2 would be best, but I am curious what you all have had success with.

Thanks in advance for any help/input!

Aaron,
-1 is where I have mine set. Do you have upper relocation brackets and adjustable upper bars?

We put a 9” in it, so the uppers are about 3/4”-1” higher at the rear end than they would have been on the factory 8.8. And yes, they are adjustable.
