Re: Driveshaft...

Do you have the old one? Is it a standard duty or Heavy Duty shaft (can tell by the carrier bearing- Light duty bearing has one mounting point, HD has two points)

If you have the HD shaft, you should just rebuild it as long as you don't need a longer one. For the money invested it's the strongest driveshaft you'll find.

Re: Driveshaft...

I have the two bolt carrier but I also need it to be longer... I can't find any driveshaft shops my area that specialize in making them … I was thinking of ordering one online just have never done that....
