yes yes joint joint joint like this:

 

a big fatty.

but not...

that joint is tiny. lol.

 

hahah.. i need a bigger joint then.. but seems like overkill for the truck it cant handle its chronic.. chronic vibration.

 

Not if you have the SL DS. There be 3 u-joints then. But I only replaced the front diff to ds u-joint last night, as well as the 2 on the rear ds (those 2 sucked; the blood blister on my right thumb and my destroyed phone agrees).

 

!$$#@%#$@%^@$@#$%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????


i paid $250 for a brand new rear driveshaft when i bent the **** out of mine a few years ago.

 

i was on vacation and in a hurry so i am sure i got **** raped.

 

i bent the **** out of it while i was wheelin, didn't want to tell the parents since i wasn't supposed to be offroading.. saved $250 and told the shop thats all i had..

 

yeah they were like well 500 for remachined and 800 for brand new from ford.. i was like uhh well 500 it is now.. they charged like 100 something in install that was totall bs to me a drive shaft install takes 5 mins.

 

it was $400 for a new one through Autozone.. best bet is a junk yard, i'm gonna go pick up like 2 or 3 for spares since the drive shaft is so low with the 9"


Austin Drive Train, now has a new name but i still know it as ADT. Good guys, great prices. they quoted me at $350 for a brand new front drive shaft with a CV joint

 

Hmm, i will check it. Yeah we have a company out here called 6 states and they did my 77 jeep when shattered the yoke on it. and they did it for like 185 or something.

 

You can take that CV apart, clean it up, and repack it with grease. That will just postpone you having to replace it or like others said fab up a flange for a double cardan joint. I have rebuilt mine a few times because I haven't gotten around to finishing my shaft with a regular joint. Mine also doesn't spin all the time either because of the coupler my dad and I built so I don't have to have mine perfect.

 

do you have any pics of that? i remember you making it but never saw the finished product.

 

well...duh. lol.
