Prop shaft slide distance
« on: June 27, 2017, 06:07:37 PM »
Now that I went back to spring under my front shaft will not fit too long.  I am going to shorten it.  The question is how much in and out do i need.  Do I just measure the spline length and take half the distance off the overall length?

Just a suggestion - most folks don't lengthen the driveshaft when doing a lift - they typically bolt in a spacer - how was yours lengthened?

When I bought my Zuk it had an custom built shaft looks homemade.  I cut about about 2" off and welded back together.  It looks about right
