sas swb 86

[flapyheaded canadian]

im going to be starting the sas in a few months and im wondering about the front drive shaft, the problem is that the front of the transfer case, now with the ifs the drve shaft doesnt slide in and out of the transfer case it stays in the one spot but when i put a solid axel in it is going to have to have a slip joint driveshaft but what is going to stop the drive shaft from coming out of the transfer case when the diff is moving up and down? does anyone have any ideas? or am i over thinking this?

[DRides]

what is going to stop the drive shaft from coming out of the transfer case when the diff is moving up and down?...
The right size drive shaft!
The same way your rear drive shaft does not come out of the transfer case.

wow your a fucking retard and not understanding what im asking! with ifs on this year of pajero the front diff is permenantly mounted and does not move with the suspension, there fore the tail shaft is in a fixed poistion, and just slips into the front of the transer case, now when i put a solid axel the tail shaft will need to be fixed to the transfer case and have a slip joint tail shaft, im asking how im going to make the tail shaft stay fixed to the transfer case? does anyone understand what im on about here?

"im asking how im going to make the tail shaft stay fixed to the transfer case?"

HOW THE F%#k IS YOUR REAR DRIVE SHAFT "FIXED" 2 THE THE TRANSFER/TRANS????? = ITS NOT!!!!!

MAKE THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT THE RIGHT SIZE AND IT 2 WILL STAY IN THE TRANSFER CASE, RETARD!

ok, sorry about the retard call but....
if u have a look at most 4wds and u will see what im talking about.
or just remove your rear drive shaft and see how it is setup (see what "stops the drive shaft from coming out of the transfer case when the diff is moving up and down")

I think what he's saying is the front output on the transfer doesn't have a fixed flange, it has a slip yoke. Common on a lot of vehicles including jeeps.

Doubt there's a kit to convert it you may have to run a different transfer case.

[DRides]

it has a slip yoke the same as the rear shaft, get the length of the shaft right and there wont b a problem.
there are Slip Yoke Eliminator kits out there but i dont think there r any for the paj - I MAY BE WRONG!
with a bit of work you can bolt the slip yoke to the output if u realy want

I have SAS'd my Paj and I still run the slip shaft, all I did was put the shocks in and work out the maximum down travel. From this you know how long the shaft needs to be so it won't fall out, you also need to work out the maximum up travel so that you dont punch the slip shaft thru your transfer. No need to change transfers at all.

I worked it out all by myself and I'm a retard... What does that say about the rest of you guys

[NJV6]

wow your a . retard and not understanding what im asking!

Bit of a short fuse have we here mr Flappy?

What he is saying is if you cared to look at the rear driveshaft, it is the same slip yoke set up as the front and the rear is a solid axle!

So you don't put a slip joint in the driveshaft at all, you have a fixed length shaft and let the slip yoke take the movement...

So yea your 3rd question on the 1st post was right - you are overthinking it.

Do it, make a thread and take pic's.

When you do a SAS, you make sure that your coil springs are secured to
the axle on one side and to the chassis on the other side to make sure
that your down travel will be limited and ensure that your slip yoke won't
come out from your differential . But if the rig will be abused in
serious trailing an extra precaution we normally do is add limiting chains to
limit the maximum down travel.

Here is a coil spring perch that is essentially secured to the axle.




Here is a picture of the chain that limits maximum down travel.
