custom driveshaft ?

Put in a c4 measured from the bottom of the tail on the trans to the bottom of the rear end flange and it measuredx 51 1/8.


Talked to a driveshaft shop and he talked about a 3" driveshaft and 1330 u joints? Does that sound right?

Re: custom driveshaft ?

If I were you, I would change out the piece on the axle to one off of a 03/04 cobra or f-150 so he can build you a driveshaft using 1350 u-joints on the trans end, and axle end.....much stronger u-joint.

Re: custom driveshaft ?

Wouldent i have to take that to a rear end shop to do?


He said something about there being a crush sleve that there is a 50/50 chance of me having to replace it

Re: custom driveshaft ?

You shouldn't have to put a new crush sleeve in, Torque the Pinion nut to spec and you will be fine, its no different than if you were to change the pinion seal.

X2.......You should be fine, but if you don't trust it, put another crush collar init, and set it back up.
