onetoncv 01-30-2002, 10:11 PM here's an alternative to the re kit for the 242- and such where you cannot get a 32 sline output shaft conversion for-not what i'd concider the best but it does work well for most- and does not break at the flange like the re kits seem to - Jess Imkunfused 01-30-2002, 10:15 PM Hey Jess.. that looks cool.. It looks like something powertrain sells so you dont have to cut and tap the shaft to run a cv on a 231.... James onetoncv 01-30-2002, 10:16 PM like this i mean- i believe this type of shaft is weak- onetoncv 01-30-2002, 10:18 PM similar to there's - no cutting it slide's like the oem slip yoke but uses the 211355x wabbler that is proven better- and still has 4 1/2 " 's of slip- good for all coil suspensions in my opinion- Jess Imkunfused 01-30-2002, 10:31 PM Originally posted by onetoncv similar to there's - no cutting it slide's like the oem slip yoke but uses the 211355x wabbler that is proven better- and still has 4 1/2 " 's of slip- good for all coil suspensions in my opinion- Jess yeah the powertrain sells one that bolts on to the 355x kit, just like the one shown there.. I never called them to find out prices tho... When i do go cv in the rear of my tj.. im going to cut it tho.. get a little more length out of it.. and make sure i get the yoke for the 355 and not the flanged style onetoncv 01-30-2002, 10:41 PM if i missed something -the end yoke style does not come with the stock output spline that i know of ? just that flange - fill me in-Jess yjtj 01-30-2002, 11:43 PM hey jess just curious as i have no need for this but couldnt yah put a cv at the top like you have and another at the bottom for even more angle? just curious BossBuilt 01-31-2002, 06:52 AM Originally posted by yjtj hey jess just curious as i have no need for this but couldnt yah put a cv at the top like you have and another at the bottom for even more angle? just curious That would vibrate like hell...the whole drive line would be flopping all over. GonPostal 01-31-2002, 07:34 AM Just a casualy observation, though that set up would certainly help out with driveline angles in lift situations, it does nothing to reduce tailshaft length, as shown in the pic. Seems it would only make things worst by applying more rotating mass to the end of an already too exposed tailshaft. Both 231s and 242s from '96 on have the redesigned tcase. Wouldn't more mass contribute to more "wallow" at the end of the tailshaft, thereby reducing the life of the tailshaft bearings? Would love to hear your thoughts on this..... SOXJ 01-31-2002, 07:38 AM Jess, is that the 27 spline slip yoke you were talking about? Thom | |
