Rear Driveshaft Question

[mickphatmac]

Well, Trial and ERROR I guess....

This will obviously not work because it sags with no support on the rear CV joint. I'm going to order a 9 inch rear slip yoke as opposed to the 7 inch stock one. I'm a little disappointed and the pictures speak for themselves...

Proof is in the puddin' sorry it didn't work. But looking at it now that result seems obvious.

You could weld one side of the cv joint [emoji3]

[mickphatmac]

WHAT? Wait, how?

[mickphatmac]

Am I being Punked?

Not to be a dick about it but just get the damn thing retubed already. All the time spent dealing with these "presidential solutions" could be smiles going down the road in a driving bronco.

With that being said just putting on a new longer slip yoke may not work. They are not all universal with orientation of the splines. So the phase may be off and you will get a serious vibration.(ask me how I know)

Ok, ok already! I found a guy with a lifted bronco that is taking it back to stock and he has graciously offered to GIVE me his for the price of shipping! $42 bucks later and a week from Florida and I'll let you know how I did!

[ZOSO]

so this new rear shaft take into account the new automatic?

No length difference between 3 spd and C4.

[mickphatmac]

Zoso... = Panic!!!!

Viperwolf1.... = WHEW! Sigh of relief!

I "thought" that I had read there was no difference in length, so good to confirm!
Thanks

[mickphatmac]

Alright ZOSO... Found a guy in FLA who bought a lifted '74 from Texas that he is taking back to stock and he offered me his rear extended driveshaft... For FREE:):):)
I did pay for him to ship it out here, $47 bucks. Not bad eh!?

[Rox Crusher]

I hate to be a Debbie downer but in that first pic it looks kind of wonky

Does it drive smoothly or vibrate like a banshee ?

Ask Viperwolf about his recent driveshaft experience

[Viperwolf1]

If you hear the rear u-joint grumbling don't expect to finish a 12 mile trip through rush hour traffic in Sacramento. Especially if you just removed all the tools from the Bronco. The good news is now I have a driveshaft trophy and a beat up muffler.

[mickphatmac]

Nope, we're cool. 1st pic is CV joint attached and slip yoke on the ground off to one side. Picture does look goofy.
Just drove at least 65 on Hwy 85 - no vibration at all.

....this look any better?

[Jesus_man]

Wow, first pic looks like the CV is way off center, but the second pic loos moar betta!

[landshark]

For future reference I got my driveshaft lengthed and balance all new u joints and a new CV joint for $200 less than 24 hours turn around at front range driveline.
