Re: Dropmember Guys,... 2-Piece Driveshafts?

What about driveshafts for 73-87s? Any suggestions? Does this info apply the same?

Re: Dropmember Guys,... 2-Piece Driveshafts?

i have extreme front and rear drop members. i used a 2 piece from a i6. it has the smaller carrier bearing(like mikes). i had to space the carrier bearing up 1 1/2 to 2 inches(cant remember) to get it close. ended up having to lengthen the front shaft to make it work(was 4 inches short). didnt get it balanced yet, but it drives good- with min vibration. plan is to get a new one made this spring when i get it back out.
