Thread: I need a different driveshaft

Tweet

Like said........the "U" joints being the only movable parts...........I see no need to spend money where its not needed, unless the old one rusted out or got damaged in some way...............Of course, I am about as cheap as they come.

Poncho - U-joints are the least of my worries at 14 -18 USD each as is the shaft itself - what I don't have is any previous "history" for the trans or diff yokes - and with a fuel line and a brake line crossing above the driveshaft, though pretty well protected, needs to give me a good warm 'n' fuzzy. And I still may do some more on the loop !!

Didn't you get lost on this forum as well (as I did ) ???

WOW thats some nice neat work and alot of money ,I would not hesitate to get a new one made at a race shop just for the safety of my nice ride and peace of mind.If it did go ,not counting bodily harm ,it would wipe out close to a thousand dolloars in parts ,2 muffs and that polished stainless hard line and those anodized an fittings,not to mention all the other stuff it could grab along the way.On a project like that ,toss that old questionable driveshaft with the dent in the can! along with the yokes and u-joints.With a investment like that I would go custom carbon fiber,not only add value and look trick,but way way safer if it does pop and less likely to take the rest with it!!
