The only other shaft I worked on had u-joints on both ends and the only travel happening was on the slip joint and I believe that was only there to be able to install the shaft. The shaft on our trucks goes into a mystery joint on the column end and seems to have about 3" of travel there. What's in that joint and why did Chevy build travel into two places?
Thanks,
