Reply to "Driveline vibration after lowering car?"

mpaschettoMember

I just finished measuring the rear wheel camber on each side of the car as it sits in its lowered state:

2.0 degrees - driver side
2.5 degrees - passenger side

Obviously, this is not optimal. Fortunately, this car has a set of adjustable upper control arms installed, and I could dial in the correct camber should I feel inclined.
I'll certainly make an attempt to get it closer to the ideal.
However, even after adjusting camber, I'd still be saddled with the 7.5 degree U-joint misalignment.

As an aside, I jacked the car back up to its previous ride height and measured:
U-joint angle - 4.5 degrees at ZF
1.0 degree camber - driver side
1.5 degree camber - passenger side

Which change had the greater effect upon the vibration, the U-joint angle or the camber angle?
