Rear driveshaft alignment

[Seandonato73]

?‍ this is getting painful...how do you propose to clock the axle then?

The lower link mounts have 3 positions on them, and could be flipped upside down for more adjustment. I see what hes getting at, and add in adjustable upper rear links, it wouldnt be hard to clock the pinion about wherever you want it.

Have 2 of them. Should take them to work and bring my good stuff home.

And im intrigued at the fact for the price kraken did the mix of plastic and aluminum on the points that matter the most. Guess its a break away thing?

Clock with the heims. In my case if they need adjustments i got these.

I figured I'd just make my own. Reminded me I need to measure them and get some decent heims

 

[Rep732]

So if you knew how to clock the axle why did we go this long leading to this solution?

 

[Seandonato73]

I think he was pointing out the importance of having it clocked correctly

 

[Rep732]

Fair enough

?? Yep..

I have the wmdz heims and irp upper links makes the rear fully adjustable..(put the links in with a press) slow and easy?

our driveshafts are no way that aggressive angle like the video shows. Plus when you hit the throttle the rear squats and driveshaft becomes perfectly straight.

Only takes 1 degree off for it to start the vibrations. Besides the yokes are not in phase and theres no way to correct that issue.

Double check on your shaft Sean got my joints to line up today.

 

[Seandonato73]

HOW!!! I've flipped it this way and that. Did you take the pins out and mess with rotating the splines part on that?

 

[PortCityRC]

Yep it must be the deal because I blew that one pin last week and mine was rotated like yours originally..upper pin must be flopped buddy

 

[Seandonato73]
