Bound up Driveshaft

[myemontana]

Need some help. In order to get my front Dana 60 centered under my Bronco it was shifted drivers side. Now when I went to put in the driveshaft it binds up on the Axle yoke when its rotated. The driveshaft is angled out towards the drivers side, the angle is not that bad since it was a high pinion 60. What to do to solve this ^&$*(#*&%** problem???

What size joint? Can you grind the yoke a little? maybe offset tom woods u joints. What is the height of the vehicle and the axle? How long is the drive shaft

So its not binding because of vertical angle but because of lateral angle.

Now im not to sure if it was bound up vertical or horizontal. I got so pissed that I quit working on it. Only know it was binding up on the pinion yoke. Been looking at High Angle driveline on the internet and they make a deep pinion yoke wonder if that would be the easy fix? Axle came out of a F350 1989

Is it binding all the time or just when articulated?

thing is bound just sitting in the driveway. You can rotate it about 1/4 to 1/2 a turn before it full metal contact with the yoke

X2 on the offset U-joint from TomWoods...

You can find more info here- and then scroll down to smack dab center of the page and you will see "Super-Flex" Universal Joint

I'm going to run the 1310 in both my lines. I hope they are strong enough. especially for $60 a piece. but not to sure on the Zerk placement. I have dragged my yoke quite abit so I would be afriad it would snap it off.

do you have an option to do a 2 piece shaft with a carrier bearing to help out the angles?

They have a lifetime guarantee iirc...and build a yoke guard for it to protect the zerts :greg:

That would probably be the easiest route!

on a 44?

I had one on my XJ D44 and it tied into my truss... don't have pics cuz before I got a chance to run it I found a sweet deal on a 9" and ran that..

I would be concerned that if your bound up just sitting there, How bad is it going to be out wheelin.
