Need a Drive shaft

Wickd GT · 03-19-2005, 06:56 PM

Damn it, I put everything together today, went to put my grive shaft in, and would not go in at the pinion. So I pull it and looked inside of the yoke, damn it! the splines look like a bunch of SSSSSSS. So I put a stock one that I have in it and went in with a 1" of traveling up and down. Question, can I put the yoke of the stock drive shaft and put it on the aluminum one? The one from the aluminum is long, the stock one is a bit shorter, will the u joins be the same diameter like the ones in the FMS drive shaft? Damn I thought I was done.

Measure the diamtere of the bearing cups, and the length's to see if they are about the same size.

Doesn't Steeda sell a drive shaft spacer, could this help you at all?

I think the u-joints are bigger in the FMS driveshafts but I am not sure.

They are. Well, now that it has a spool and all the good stuf, I don't think that the FMS drive shaft would hold, plus I'm installing an anti roll bar too, so I have to test and start all over to get use to it and set it up, for FFW.
