Driveshafts.

Post by Eddywelder »

Ok so I have now lengthened the wheelbase to 100 inches on my 40 series landcruiser I need to have the driveshafts lengthened as well.
Does anyone know or can recommend a shop in sydney who specialises in this for 4x4s....
Thanks
Eddy

there a few places i had mien at a few differnt palces...just cause i wasnt happy with some of the work and im still havin probs...not with balacing just dogy uni's...anywyas try any of the 4wd workshops - eg.chaos,snake racing,overkill, m&m, i thinks they all do it just give me a call or drop in i dont think its all that expenive to get the shaft lengthend at the same time.

there also is a couple of DS engineerin places my way(sutherland area) but i woudlnt remrecmond there work as im not happy with wot they have dun(not guna mention name)

go to east coast fourwheel drive wreckers at Moorebank and have a look throught the pile of cruiser shafts they have out there. take your tape measure and a pattern of your yolks on the diff and t/case, you will save yourself a grand!

Every-one here has placed a pretty accruate call.....

1: do it your self ( its dead simple )
by doing it ya self ya save 2 to 3 hundred bucks.....

2: get longer tubes from a wrecker then cut n shut
where do you think the place that will do the lengthing get the tubes from anyway ?


3: get em balanced ( most motor rebuilding shops can do this work 4 ya.)
costs around the 50 - 70 to balance em

The tube is actually imported from overseas and is special driveshaft tube.
