Hello I am back, got some as the Afikaanse mense se' here in South Africa, I have some "LEKKER" photo's to show you all, please all your comments will be appreciated, you can even email me direct to
Longdrop@xsinet.co.za or Nomad@xsinet.co.za or phone me at 27 45 839 5238 home not cell number 082 499 1924 not sure of the code. Looking at these photo's will show you that we do not take any short cuts, we do things mod's correctly the first time.
Photo of the Hilux at home on the two post lift, it is so much easier to work on a vehicle in the air like this
We had the rear std propshaft shortened, but we found that the angles with the centre bearing were incorrect thus we threw it off, to have it modified in the first place cost R750. but I have to pay the guy this amount in biltong, he is happy, thus we then had a front propshaft modified and lengthened by 165mm and did away with the centre bearing, see other photo's for details.
The actual front section of the rear propshaft was fine at the rear output flange, the problem was at the centre bearing.
check the rubber on the centre bearing, no good, we picked this up by the rubber burning and also when the rear revolver shackles dropped.
Note to be able to use a front propshaft on the rear of your vehicle, you have to use a front output shaft, the spline size is the same, but the OD of the flange is different.
No vibrations, no problems, we are very very happen that we took your advise with the rear propshaft fitment.
Must go and sleep now, it is 22h00 Hope you enjoyed these pic's so far, will post some more Sunday the 26th Feb 2006. in the morning.
