Re: drive shaft ??
« on: May 01, 2008, 04:40:31 AM »
I got my rear DS retubed with new u-joint for around $160. They replaced the .076 wall metric size tube with a .096 wall standard tubing...didn't have the know how at the time or welder.
For the front...hahhaha around $350 for a new one...I did the square method instead for $40 coast of tubing.
Side not...I have sense busted the .096 rear. I now have drill stim pipe....that tube is crazy thick.....and have yet to bend it....got it for free. I did the front with my Lincon 135 and rear with a 220 stick.

here you can see my front square and rear drill stim...the paint is marked up from Rocks but it is still straight.
Also the Driveshaft shop will need to know the measurments from flange to flange to dertermine how long to make yours...you will also have to take both parts of the rear driveshaft in.
