The CV axles on my CAV are angled forward (relative to the 90 degrees on the longitudinal axis) approximately seven degrees. The car has an audi 016 transaxle on a Ford Racing 302 crate engine. The positioning is no doubt a function of the combined length of the engine and the transaxle output shaft location exceeding the comfortable distance between the bulkhead and the mid-point of the rear wishbones.
What I'm wondering is, is a little bit of forward angle helpful with regard to rear anti-squat? In other words, does the forward angle tend to provide lift to the rear of the car when accelerating by way of the torsional offset? I'm guessing it's not going to be a whole lot but maybe not the worst thing having some modest forward angle (well w/in the safe working range of the CVs). Any thoughts are appreciated.
