Unbolting the drive shaft from the diff

[kolosy]

how much movement does the driveshaft have if i'm dropping it down in the rear? was dropping the subframe and of course it was binding up, but i started getting concerned that the top of the subframe itself was making contact with the driveshaft as it got lower on the studs. what's the range of motion on that end of it? looking at pics of the full thing, it looks like there's a fair bit (10-15* or more), but would love confirmation from someone here.

for posterity: enough. it has enough range of motion to go lower than what the point at which the subframe clears the studs.
