Re: Daverods project 66

I saw on spike tv show muscle car where tommy shortened a drive shaft. He cut the welds and poped the end off and cut it then cleaned everything up and lined it back up with a mark he made before cutting and then welded the end back on trying to space 4 welds in the 10, 2, 4, 8 oclock postions. I dont think he rebalanced it.

Why take the chance of ruining your U-joints? You might not feel the vibration, and it can still be out of balance. It has to be in faze also then balanced.

easy solution then is to check get the balance checked first.
on the other hand how long has the d/shaft been that way. if it has been that way for years and worked ok, why worry about it

Re: Daverods project 66

I turned it 180 degee's. If anything its worse. The only time I feel it is on the hiway. It's been that way since I've had the truck. I've always felt a slight wobble at above 65. Guess I'll wait till the next snow storm and go get the end fixed and get it balanced. I would like to start hitting the hiways more. I don't run from bears they run from me. He was a bad dog even when he was a puppy.
