Greg the individual axles do not rotate and change the pinion angle but rotate about the pivot centre. The pinion angle stays the same throughout the axle travel but because the axles rotate about the bogie pivot centre the driveshaft to the pinion yoke angles change. This is why they come close to binding each other when the suspension is fully articulated. I'm sorry if I lead you to believe the axles rotated as the torque tubes are fixed length and keep the pinion angles the same. I was very surprised to see how much movement is built into the bogie assembly though. Terry
