Pinion angle and bushing material

I agree that could be the issue, the cradle uses the same bushing that the original uses a rubber bushing with a threaded insert that takes two 5/8" bolts one on either side. If the bushing were completely gone (it isn't) the nose could go up a maximum of .6" before metal to metal contact. I am going to put a hydraulic jack under the the front of the rear end and try to force it up today to see how much movement I get. The bushing is a sleeve within a sleeve it has an outer sleeve that is approximately 1.75" in diameter and then the inner which is about .93" tapped for the two mounting bolts that come in from the sides of the double shear mount in the car.
