czny Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Ah, I get it...the center is a trunion joint. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Ah, I get it...the center is a trunion joint. Correct? It's a DOJ type CV. Looks like a late 90's legacy driveline. Some models have this type, others it's just a Ujoint. My thought is that it won't have enough slip. it's not a slip yoke. When that axle starts going up and down that joint may not have enough travel. Scott, look into Nissan and Izuzu drivelines. Same input ends at the trans, and flange at the axle. Get 2wd model one from nissan will have slip section in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
