just took it by a well established driveshaft shop today. I asked them if a Double Cardan shaft would get rid of my vibrations and got a whole lot of
"why would you want that"
"you don't know anything, we're the experts"
"and what you need to do is CLOCK YOUR PINION UP to get the ujoint at it's optimal operating angle"
wtf.....
I asked them repeatedly if driveshafts ends were supposed to be on parallel planes and they repeatedly said "no you don't want to clock your pinion down. That will put strain on your ujoint. you want to clock your pinion up so that the joint is almost perfectly straight."
They didn't care that the joint on the t-case side is making like a 5 degree bend. They just wanted the joint on the pinion of the driveshaft straight as possible. SMH...
