1-piece driveshaft


Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of haveing the pieces made into a 1-piece driveshaft, so when I get around to doing the 4WD swap on my loyale, I don't have to worry about the center bearing (as it will probably get lifted a year or 2 after I do the swap, so I don't want to weld it). anyone have anythoughts on this?

 

I'm thinking since the diff and tranny stay essentially immobile, and there'd still be a u-joint at either end, it shouldn't be an issue. am I missing something?

Take it to a driveshaft / transmission shop. Tell them how long you want it, which joints you want at what end, and throw down a couple hudnred dollars.

 

Or you can make some L brackets. Weld them into the unibody. Bolt the center carrier bearing housing to the L brackets.
