Bolt in cheap Tailshafts

Post by Kitika »

Is there any driveshaft of a different 4wd that will bolt straight into the back of a W/T SWB? I measured up some front shafts off some solid axle hiluxes and a 720 nissan ute but they all seem to be too long. :?
I seem to have some angle issues i believe and that caused the uni to wear out and smash off and break the end of the shaft off with it :D Double cardon will help iron this out i believe?
Any suggestions on shafts?

get a custom shaft made up using a hilux double cardan - or shorten a hilux shaft.... you must be running some big lift though - you SPOA?

A double cardan joint does not have any more opperating angle than a single uni (cruiser or simillar) with a bit of clearancing. DC joints are used to help cure driveshaft vibrations. I would have a better look at your setup. What lift are you running, Maybe post some pics.

I'm not spoa what i was running was standard springs with 2 inch extended shackles. I've upgraded the rear suspension with some much much longer (200mm~) springs and with the extra height and flex i was thinking a double cardon would be helpfull.
I'll see if i can get a hilux shaft and modify that to suit if it won't bolt in.
Does anyone know if the 720 nissan shaft has the same flange size as the zook? Cos i can get one of these for free to modify and try and make fit :)
