Excursion Pinion Angle?
Can anyone out there with knowledge on Pinion angle tell me if this looks correct to you? This is my driveline on a 2000 Ex that recently has had a lot of work done to it (axles/suspension) and I am chasing what I think is a driveline vibration. Done some research on this issue and I think my line it "too straight" - opinions?

Here is a shot of the rear diff and pinion closer up. Shouldn't the diff be pointing down more - it's straight in line with the yoke and drive shaft with very much differs from the drawing shown in the link from the OP on the recommended settings? I'm thinking I need more negative angle and need to reverse the shims I have in the rear to push it down. Really need some knowledgeable opinions though because it's quite a task for me to get that up and loosen those bolts to reverse the shim, so don't want to do it unless I can feel pretty confident it's moving in the right direction.
Thanks

It looks fine by the picture but have someone hold a yardstick or something straight against the face of the seal (front of housing) and get back a way and eyeball it for the 90 degree angle to the shaft. You can switch positions also (2 heads are better than one.)
