Tracker Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Has anyone ever had one of those double layered, steel / rubber / steel rear driveshafts cut down? I've been wondering if it is possible or practical since going SOA on the '87 4WD. The original shaft has a lot of shiny yoke showing after the lift and this other driveshaft from our wrecked 2WD will get tossed soon if it isn't any use to me.
Pete M Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Yup, I did. Just cut down at the t-case end of the shaft, not the rubber isolator end.
Tracker Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 Yup, I did. Just cut down at the t-case end of the shaft, not the rubber isolator end. Hmmm... On mine the outer tube is welded at the t-case end, and there about 2 inches of inner shaft exposed at the other end. (reversible?) I just didn't know how the shops cut down driveshafts and if they could work around two different diameters. :dunno:
87manche Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 they'll cut the yoke off the t-case end, shorten the tube, then reattach the yoke. they won't want to mess with the slip joint part of it.
