8.8 swap

I got everything in, drive shaft angles set and ready to weld. Then I noticed that the explorer rear diff. sits closer to the passenger side, so the drive shaft has a left to right angle. Is this normal? I noticed the front does the same.

yes

 

[brinker88]

Yup. There's absolutely no problem there.

yep. the 7.5 ain't centered either i don't think.

thanks guys.. thought i had some issues, LOL ran around with a tape, measuring everything. I never paid attention when I tore everything apart.

Ranger and Explorer diff centers are intentionally offset to the passenger side for gas tank clearance.

a bronco2's fuel tank is mounted Behind the axle making this issue moot.
