Re: Lift & Driveline problems
WRONG, as any high school Hot Rodder could tell you! Because of
it's design, "Constant Velocity" it may rotate without shaking it's self
apart at about twice that of a Cardan joint, at about thirty degrees.
Did someone else put that 44 in for you?

Don't discount the role of the CV joint on the driveshaft, which the Rubicon
does not have in stock form.

Bill, I'm sure even you would have to agree that Tom Wood at Tom Wood's
Custom Driveshafts has forgotten more about such stuff than either you or
I... Tom also disagrees with you where he says:
"Many people mistakenly believe that a double cardan or C.V. type drive
shaft will allow for greater operating angles than a conventional 2 joint or
single cardan drive shaft. This is not true. Some types of C.V.'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.
Additionally the C.V. itself is longer than more conventional components and
will create a greater operating angle on the driveline, especially on very
short shafts."
The above was from Tom Wood's Tech Info page at http://www.4xshaft.com/
Since I am CERTAIN you will argue the point, do so with Tom Wood since he is
the guy that set me straight years ago when I was mistaken about the same
subject. Tom has a nifty email form you can fill in and send him the
information that will prove him wrong.
