Your differential is OK too, the drive shaft U-Joints will handle the
perceived mis-alignment.  I have a few pictures if you would like to see
them.

Subject: [TR] frame to axle clearance tr-3

List,
On my tr-3 restoration i have bolted the diff/axle to the springs and
springs to frame and something doesn't look right.  The axle is tight
against the frame and even jumping on the frame only brings the frame down
an inch or so.  I still need to tie the rubber pads on the axle (which i
overlooked doing
before) so that will make the clearance between frame and axle even tighter.

I find it unlikely that mounting the body on the frame will be heavy enough
to spring the frame down and provide good clearance.  Also the diff seems to
be too low (it seems the drive shaft will line up with the hole in the X
where the exhaust goes through) rather than over the floor.  Wonder if I'm
missing something or has anyone else had this problem.  I shoulda taken more
pictures........

anyway any thots?
