I am currently modifying an LDV truck from a dropside pickup to a recovery truck.
I've extended the chassis to acomadate the lenghth required as the truck is a crewcab and it be a bit short on the rear.
I've have the propshaft proffesionaly extended but I have solitary just notice the flange on the diff is slightly offset.
I've fitted the propshaft so its straight down the middle from the gearbox until the finishing section,which later is angled to the drivers side and slopeing down to meet the flange on the diff.
My put somebody through the mill is, would this be OK or would it pose a problem when the truck is driven.
Ive built other trucks before but haven't come upon this sort of problem.
Only sensible answers please.
Answers: CV joint are designed to "work around corners" so to speak but remember that as you load the truck the dash will change as the suspension is compressed.
sounds approaching your axle is canted on the spring, there is rather mushroom on top of the spring which locates surrounded by an indentation in the axle plate, this can shear and the axle cant to one side or the other.
With drive shafts as long as both flanges are parrallel and contained by line consequently it doesn't matter what angle they are at, however if one is compensate then the all-inclusive joints will be lower than stress and will fail prematurely.
First
Measure the hub of the hb to the end of the spring on respectively side and ensure that they are both equal. both front and rear,
afterwards measure the diagonals of the chassis from respectively end of the spring ie from front vanished to rear right and vice versa. They should be equal.
It sounds if in attendance is a gross error in the chassis construction if the measurements are found to be equal and the flange is still out of vein.
