Re: Pinion angle on 2 piece t/shaft

You would think it would be on the diff side wouldn't you!
It's just got a slip joint on the transmission and no yoke on the shaft
So all the suspension travel/shaft movement goes through the bearing

Re: Pinion angle on 2 piece t/shaft

Unfortunately the Bearing mounts are welded on so To lower the bearing would envolve cutting and welding And a 1 piece shaft I think I'll be up for about $800? There must be something wrong with it, it seems like I've got the only navara That this is happening to. Possibly the wrong shaft in it? Wha...

Re: Pinion angle on 2 piece t/shaft

It about a 2" lift I've just bought the car and it keeps flogging centre bearings What's causing it is the tailshaft seems about 20mm short of reaching the diff So when it's bolted up it distorts the centre bearing And eventually tears it. I thought maybe correcting the pinion angle may bring i...

Re: D22 tailshaft spacer

It's only about 2-3 inch suspension lift which I realize is not normally enough to need a spacer. But for some reason when my centre bearing is relaxed The rear of the tailshaft is about 20mm short of reaching the diff. So I am forced to pull the shaft back with the bolts And stretching the shit out...

Re: D22 rear tailshaft/centre bearing issues

Today I noticed the clamps which hold the Spring packs together is in front of the diff rather Than behind like usual, is it possible that These are back to front and the locating dowell for the diff Is not in the centre of the spring, causing It to locate the diff 25mm farther from the centre beari...

mines has a 2 inch suspension lift and 33's
scubbed badly so moved it forward 35mm
quote to extend the shaft was $350, any driveshaft mob should do it.
but i ended up going for a 2 inch body lift and putting the diff back where it was instead, no scub!

alright thank for that
drilling the perches do you just drill a hole on the diff housing back from the factory locating hole or you drill them in the actual springs forward from the factory hole?
and i think i want to move it forward about 35mm does that sound right?

33's on 15x7

gday
just wondering 33x12.5's would be too wide for my 15x7 rims, i know 8's would be better suited but cant afford them at the moment but already have the tyres.
should be ok? or expected to roll off the bead or something?

thanks, jesse
