2002 Monterey 36, 350 Cummins, Magnum chassis, rear end

[Robert Paisley]

I am getting familiarized with the 2002 Monterey I recently purchased.
I have been getting ride height issues settled as well as working out a driveline vibration.
I noticed that the rear end has a differential that is offset to the driver's side of the coach.
This causes a lot more angle in the u joints than if the differential were in the center of the rear end.

The use of the offset differential rear end seems rather odd. Does anyone have any insight as to why they used this rear end?

Thanks,
Robert

Matching a driveline to transmission / engine. In most cases there is a offset to the torque side of engine rotation of which under load will aline driveline to reduce shaking. The same thoughts will
apply in setup of a ring gear and pinion in the rear end, gear set has to be set up for the torque
applied . Dave Atherton
