Topic: Driveshaft length

[Jesse-James]

OK, got it and lined it up. It's from a AX-5 and on my auto it made up a small amount on the slip just as I hoped. Tonight I'll wire wheel it, replace both U-joints and paint it. Then it's back to the trail next weekend. Thanks for all the replies guys.

Took it for a drive and the slight vibes that I had are gone. I'm a happy camper.

Wow, it's RED!

Showing a lot of slip too.  Mine doesn't even show that much.

Not much slipyoke engagement, could use a DS an inch longer. 

Careful if you get highcentered on something with the rear axle drooped, could spin the slipyoke right out under torque.  Ask me how I know.

There's less showing than my old shaft, but maybe a short TC drop would help even more then.

And yes that is OSHA Safety Red, figured it would help those behind me see it next time I let it go bouncing down the highway.

I wouldn't add a TC drop just for driveshaft length, don't give up the ground clearance if you don't have any vibes.  What's the length of your red shaft?  I may have one 1" longer I'd let you have cheap.
