in the garage
having a rear drive shaft re-tubed and a cv added(one i already have)and balanced $170.
tube will be thicker walled and O.D. will be 2 1/2"
seemed resonable to me.
any thoughts.
 
who?

Jim,

Yes. I paid $120 to re-tube (lengthen) and balance my 40 shaft. In Denver.

Springs o-k?

HTH,

i'm sending it to rocky mnt d/l.
the 60 rear is about twice the length of the 40

springs OK ;)
 
i called around

and RMDL was the only guy who said that the first ting he does is straighten the tube.
nobody else said anything about that.

saw that thread, i'll definitly say something about that.

don't think i need the cardon(cv) on the rear, but i'm gonna have him do it anyways.

just to be :cool: haha
 
I got my front shaft shortend, my rear shaft lenghtned and both balanced for $140 bucks.
 
now thats a deal!

Jim -
What drove you to this - vibration?

i'm gonna save it for when i SOA my 40

so i'm just goin bigger dia. and thicker tube in the rear.
and having a frt shaft shortened and re-tubed.

i ended up with a vib after breaking my pinion and dropping the rear shaft in moab.

dont know if it was the used 3rd i borrowed or the shaft.

will be putting in thenew 4.88's this weekend and the new drive shafts.

tinker, was that you pulled over south bound I25 at happy canyon the other mornin?

PabloCruise said:
Could be those pinion bearings!

when borrowing a used part.

it got me back home, thats all that counts.
