Default RE: Trans/Ujoint Vibration?????

the fonts were very easy no issue. so I didnt think the back would be a problem...wrong

I could straight them myself.

I would 1) find dead center of drive line
2) make a block the exact length of the proper spacing between the ears (using the good side as a proper distance)
3) find the exact center of the block
4) take a chalk line and run it the down the dead center of the shaft and past the end of the shaft.
5) heat the ears at the notch and bend them until i can just place the block between them and continue to adjust them until the block fits right between them and is dead center on the chalk line with the center line on the block.

Live an learn right

sound plan
you can get the correct length from the u-joint.
if the u-joint is 2.344" inch inside including inside snaprings then that's exactly what you need.
Make sure you have this measurement at front and back of ears.
doublecheck the cup diameter and the hole diameter before putting the joint in there
