    Default FWD driveshaft angles

    Hey guys

    I'm shortly mounting a FWD engine that wasn't supposed to be there.

    What are the primary considerations as far as ideal driveshaft angles?

    Thanks

    They're normally angled down at probably 20* or so. The bigger consideration is to allow them to have enough end movement so that on compression of the suspension they don't jam the balls into the end of the cup. If they do this then they'll wear out in no time at all ie less than 1 yr from a new set.
