driveshaft

I have a Turbo 350 I stuck the trans yoke all the way in the trans and pulled it back out 1" and measured from center to center of the U Joint. Will this work? Is 1" out too much?

Should work just fine, just make sure the rear end of the car is loaded. That is wheels on the ground with ride height.

My local drive line shop says to do just as you did... 1". I have been doing it just as they say for many years with never a problem.

The guys got ya covered there....you need just enough room to slide your driveshaft in and put the rear u-joint into the yoke.

As RPM said....make sure that you've got your suspension loaded OR when you let it down off the jacks and hita bump.....it'll try to stack up solid.

Darn guys....its getting cold!
