Josh Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Looking good. Should have cleaned the camera lense, or whatever's causing the black dots first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Why is the sliding yoke at the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Why is the sliding yoke at the rear? Thats how the yanks do em, cant see what diff it makes, its only there to take up suspension movement altering the length of the prop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 a chucky looking bit of kit. Do you still need to use the rubber doghnut or does it bolt directly to the diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 a chucky looking bit of kit. Do you still need to use the rubber doghnut or does it bolt directly to the diff? Looks like it uses the donut to me so a bit of a weak point as thats what normally fails, the yanks use bigger UJ's and ally adaptors on the toyota box and diff flange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 What can the OEM donut hold in terms of BHP? A lot more in an Auto !!! and depends on age and condition of the donut, no good for a performance prop it the weakest link in the prop so madness to leave it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Is also madness to have the donut next to a Uj, the donut needs positive location drive and the Uj will try and buck when shock loaded, and run out of true due to the donut being a flexible drive that's only intended as a "Cush" shock absorber and should only be coupled as THE end joint so it's centre pin keeps it straight to it's driveshaft You may find this causes some weird vibrations You'd be better doing away with the donut and being careful (if your manual and notauto) not to shock load the diff/transmission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No donut needed, I was told to bolt it directly on to the diff. I will bolt it on this weekend. See how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
