    It does. I'm wondering if when they eliminated the lower control arm brackets they didn't adjust the upper bracket positions to correct the pinion angle.

    The angle's not "extreme", but its bad enough that I could see it causing an issue if someone has a U-joint on it's way out. It's also bad enough that I personally would be upset if I paid for a suspension "system" and ended up with that type of pinion angle given the ease in which it could be remedied.

    Dude i think new ones are $700+ (closer to 800) new. Probably better off having one made that has serviceable u-joints.

    That's the way to go. Just looked it up and an OEM replacement is $1075 MSRP, $752+ shipping online.
