Hey Guys,
Did a search and not much came up.....Vibration when driving and it's the rear universal so replacing with Spicer 5-178X which is a 1350 with a Zerk so I can put grease to it.
So the last Universal is the exact same dimensions as above, but was loose with end to end play, meaning cap to cap distance was too great and these are the caps that are strapped to the yoke. So now when I place the new 5-178X into the saddles on the yoke there is like a mm of play, wondering if there is a way to tighten that up, thinking the straps will tighten down and hold the caps but was wondering if this slight play caused the other universal to fail sooner than it should. Guessing a new rear yoke might be more snug?
Any one swapped their OBS rear driveshafts over to the SD version, as I think they are more robust as it seems to me there are no flimsy straps on the yokes right? Or could a guy just replace the rear yoke with an SD one and use ODS shaft?
