Title: Driveshaft Length
Post by Team X on 04/03/13 at 9:12am

With the driveshaft slid all the way forward how much gap should there be between the u-joint and the yoke? Minimum? Maximum?
Thank You, Dick

With the driveshaft mounted to the rearend, we generally look for an inch to an inch and a half of shaft showing on the yoke going into the transmission

depends upon your set up and especially your driveshaft yoke length... 4/4 bar has a lot of rear steer

I think Team X has a HobbyStock?
If so an Inch of Gap should be fine, but I wouldn't want any less.

Thanks Mark. Yep, it's still a Hobby Stock.
