Thank you! I appreciate it. This one was lengthy and not the most exciting but it was a lot of info to spit out. We have some very fun stuff coming up though!
Lots of great info. I loved talking with the folks at Tom Woods when I got my shafts. As for the axle u-bolts, I knew they were never coming free. I was yelling at the tv just to cut them and order new ones
Great video with lots of good info! I would've cleaned up, or even sandblasted and painted the old dust cover/washer/nut that were reused, but other than that, thank you for all the info. I was completely off on the term "double cardan" when I read the title, I though more along the lines of a 'split drive shaft' with the middle support, so I learned a lot. Tom Woods Driveshafts are pretty well recognized around the off-road community for their great quality products and subject expertise. Can't wait to see the front drive shaft video and the end result on this one (you can do Part 2 on the rear and continue where you left off; we won't mind😉) . Take care.🤙
I got the back end all finished up and it was pretty easy! The spring bolts were in awful shape, so I’m glad it’s all fresh back there now! The front driveshaft video won’t be as long as this one was but it will still have some good info. Thank you for watching!
Keeping a degree or three difference in the driveshaft and pinion will also keep that u-joint active. Keeping it active will help prolong the life by keeping the bearings moving.
It’s not the fancy one that you recommended to me. That was like $250 for two mics and one receiver and I don’t know if you know this but I am poor. 😂 Better audio is a game changer though!
Short answer is more than likely, yes. Long answer is that every Jeeps going to be a little bit different so you’ll need to measure your driveline angles to see if there is a difference of 10° at any of the joints
Between the pinion and the transfer case, you want something like 1-3°. Essentially you point the pinion at the transfer case if you run a double cardan, which is why I shimmed the rear end up.
