Prop Shaft Isue

[kessler]

Well i have finally been putting my Ty back together and after i put the front Shaft back in it dawned on me that it wasent right. So im like wtf i guess that would explain why it also had the wrong tranny in it. I think the old one broke and tore the tranny all to hell. So i think this one is out of a regular blazer. Is this thing going to be ok or should i spend the money to get the right one? The reason its the wrong one is it has a U-Joint going to the front Diff

Re: Prop Shaft Isue

There were a few custom ones made that had U joints in them.
But if it looks oem then its probably a 4x4 shaft.
If it fits and bolts up the the transfercase end I would try it.
If you get bad vibrations then yank it out and get a Gilbert.
They are SOLID!
Lots of other stuff will break before your PS.

ok well it looks like an oem one from a 4x4. So would you trust it? It didnt have any Vibrations when i drove it back from Texas.

Don't beat on it or it'll eventually brake and without a looped on it.. it'll swing around and hit all kinds of stuff.

Anything that has a double cardan on the back will break. Look it up. Take it easy with it and don't worry about it.
