I'm considering something a little radical that will involve moving the differential back 2-3". Needless to say doing this will result in a constant angle in both the inner and outer u-joints for the halfshafts. Part of the project will also involve an upper link that will remove the halfshafts as a load bearing unit. At first I was really concerned about putting angle into the joints because I thought they were supposed to be on center with differential, but how is it any different than the driveshaft? I know many driveshafts, not just in Corvettes but a great deal of RWD vehicles, have some built in angle and run hundreds of thousands of miles without anything more than regular maintenance.
I've heard that about 3* is the most you want, but is there any real reason why I couldn't move the diff without compromising longevity?
