Could someone use a (program) called auto card I belive?? not sure, any way, could someone find out what my CV anles are? here is a pic, if this info will help, the top of the upper part of the CV (were the diff is) is 23" from the ground, and the top of the other side is 19.5" from the ground.

It's autocad and I did this for you once already. But anyway, I need to know the distance between the two points you are showing to get a true angle. I could use the pic but your camera may not be exactly flat.

Then if all those numbers are correct there at 16 degrees.

Thanks willy!

ok, so 16deg is not bad, is it? The cv you see there is toatsed AGAIN! it lasted about 2 weeks, and so did the one before it, I cannot figure it out??? It seems as though they don't even fill the boots with grease or somthing??

It is really pissing me off.

Well Tim always says that 23*-25* is the max, so based on that I'd say that you're in the clear, but I really don't know. You should check to be sure that they're greased before you install them, but I don't see why they wouldn't be. Which joint is failing (inner or outer)? It may be failing due to something else.

Just from eyeballing your picture that "LOOKS" like more than 16 degree's to me???

 

[wrath]

Eh, mon. Got a GotLiftmacalculator?

Ohhhh, you mean the 12.25" measurement was the hyp of the triangle? I thought he measured the distance between the two, the other side of the triangle, not the 3.5" side but other.

i just think superlfited is an idiot with all that extra crap.

 

[wrath]

I figured he'd measure point to point on the CV shaft instead of trying to eyeball the other leg of the triangle. You know how he is. /me tries not to roll his eyes.

Beats me.

It's kind of funny because in this instance it's about the same answer.

In case he reads this, if he did your way (measured both legs of the triangle) then it'd be ArcTan(3.5/12.25) or Tan^-1(3.5/12.25).

So what is the degree ?

 

[wrath]

16 degrees, give or take half a degree because we don't know how he measured.

Scoob, here is something to help you see the angle:

What the heck is 22.5° doing there? That looks like something GotLift would do.

 

[454]

Lol, I drew a white line at 22.5 degrees so that Scooby could see that the actual CV's "looked" around 16 degrees since he said it looked like more than that. I'm not saying that cv's are 22.5

Just in case there's any confusion about exactly which angle I'm talking about and so forth, it's called out in the following image:

Yep, 16 degrees.
