That castor angle on a bicycle is why you can ride it with no hands and you can imagine how it would feel if the fork was straight up and down. Regards, |Bookmarks|. Some types of C. 's will actually incur a binding interference at less of an angle than a standard two joint drive line, again depending on the individual components used. Some of the time things that in theory should work, do not, and other times people seem to be happy with a drive-line that by all standards should cause a horrible vibration or short life.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to worry about vibration issues since I only went with a 4''. Use a cv-joint on one end of the driveshaft which is common practice, or to use 2 cv-joints at both ends of the driveshaft. Wife's Ride 2014 Fiat 500L. With the CV joint and the 4-degree rotation of the axel, the ride is absolutely smooth. By no means do I know all there is to know about drive lines (or any thing else). So, How steep can you run a drive shaft? If I take it out, the rear will match the front (within a couple of degrees) but I've still got a bunch of u-joint flex. I lifted the springs off the perches and spun the wedge blocks around 180. Driveline angle corrections when lifted " the light fix". I'm getting ready to do the unthinkable and head to a total 15" lift and 44's. An over-fill may be required, overfilling the differential may cause a problem with foaming of the differential fluid. What gear ratios do you have? Pedal mashed and KICK'N ASS!
Right now I'm going to go to a 12" suspension and run 40's. For the most part, since the vibration is torsional, and the engine and transmission is mounted on rubber mounts, you will not feel anything other than a slight annoyance. Reading a few littérature in torsional vibration caused by mismatched driveline angles (when input and output u joint angles are not in phase to cancel out the rotational force, is that my possible start of problem(s)? 6 degrees difference in bent of the u-joints. This video will demonstrate the proper angles for a drive shaft in a stock Jeep or Truck and how the rules change when you add a suspension lift. After all it really is a lot less expensive to do the job right the first time. The wedge shape blocks also gave me another inch in the rear to fix that saggy butt problem. I have measured my angles and have 2* at T-case output and 14* at pinion.
Any kind of advice is welcome, and all negative comments will be ignored! The down side to using a tube of an exceptionally heavy wall thickness is as outlined previously, the acceleration and deceleration of mass along with the excessive radial load placed on the adjoining support bearings. Signed, you local transmission guy. Description: Stryker Off Road Design is proud to bring you our new Extended Length heavy duty CV Front Drive Shafts for the Ford F250 F350 F450! As an upgraded shaft is is also more durable than the factory shaft. Fucked transmissions, fucked diffs, fucked bearings and the like of all sorts... the list just never stops going. Hahaha Let me know what you guys think. Insteresting that your having a problem with a 4" lift. This is a problem because with torque at the wheel, the rear angle would be 6. You put that lift in your vehicle or changed the engine, transmission or transfer case or differential maybe all of the above and now your go anywhere four wheel drive baby rides like a out of balance washing machine. 5 degree in front and 3. With acceleration, that 2.
The same would be true if all the component angles were down. Looking at you, Rough Country. The main cause of this is i had to move my drive train forward to clear the firewall which increased the driveshaft angle…. Here's how we solved the problem.
Has anyone else run into this problem with the shackle flip or am I the only one? I hope to clear up a lot of this here. CALCULATE AND COMPARE OPERATING ANGLES. What about the 3rd joint in the double cardan shaft? The intuitive way for most people to think of this is the fork angle on a bicycle or motorcycle. Gets rid of the factory junk flange and converts it to a CV style with much beefier components. Changing Pinion Angle on a 1960 Corvette. I have an all spring 4" lift like some others here and the only thing I did was have the rear drive line lengthened, no problems since.
