drive shaft - 11/20/16 09:07 AM
Hello all
I have a problem I cannot solve and I hope someone can help.
I had occasion to replace a universal. When I dropped the drive shaft/torque tube, it immediately moved to the side of centre.
Viewed from the rear, it looks to be about 3 inches to the left of the centreline.
When jacked up, the shaft is not quite on the centreline and to make the universal fit into the yoke on back of the gearbox, it has to be forced to the right.
My question is, does the shaft have to be exactly on the centreline so that the universal makes an easy fit into the gearbox yoke??
Any help and advice would be appreciated.
any thanks
Ron
