knighty should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridknighty should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
I ran tripode inner and outer joints on my black-bird powered 750-F4 single seater, one of the shafts was at 12 degrees.......it made 145bhp at the wheels (as expected) and went like a missile down the straights......it aint worth worrying about......you do actually need a few degrees to promote internal lubrication and even wear, as being perfactly straight can actually weld themselves together, and hammer away at only one area.......5 degrees is no prob......its a 2 tenths of not a lot syndrome
