Since your shaft is new, without a load/angle on it, you may not be able to feel it.

I spoke with a local shop that specializes in lifts, they said a full front end alignment might cure the angle problem (if there is one). They also said if it is too far out that caster correction bushings could be installed. So off to drop it off I go.

Sean,
PM me your tele number this morning, there are some things you will want to consider before aligning it.

Unless both your front tires are laying on their side (like a road grader) a front end alignment will do nothing for the angle of the drive shaft -

Tom Woods
try to define a slope as the relationship of a single line or plane in relationship to the horizon and an angle is the relationship of one slope to another. In order to determine the net joint angle, we 1st need to measure the slope of the pinion, transmission or transfer case and the drive shaft. The differences are the net joint angle.

a front end alignment will not change the angle of either the pinion or output shafts

I could be wrong - if so somebody call BS [&:]
