Youll need to shorten the tailshaft I think!

Needs to be shortened by removing weld yoke, shorten the tube to correct length, then re weld the weld yoke back on. New unis & balance. Not a job to be done in back yard. Professional workshop is the go. Utility8  |

Ensure that you make the shaft short enough, front to back free play is necessary for diff movement. The shop you go to should be able to tell you what measurements are required. Measure with the car at ride height, not with rear axle hanging while body is on jack stands. Utility8 |

Yep, consult the guys that are going to build it for you. They should be able to let you know what measurements they need, point to point, from your car. Utility8 Edited by user Tuesday, 12 January 2010 1:16:55 AM(UTC)
