Slip-Joint CV driveshaft
Anyone using the SlipYoke driveshaft with CV joint from
Driveshaftsuperstore.com I am preparing for my basic XJ build. It is a DD and I just want to run a 3" lift to run 31's. No crazy wheeling just bushwacking for hunting and occasional trail run. Is this a viable solution? $295 dollars is appealing vs $600 for a SYE+newshaft. Problems, opinions?

I would say if you are only planning on running the 3' lift, you will not need the sye conversion. I run 4.5" with 31'2 and run my DD and probally a little more wheelin thank you, and no issues, IMOP, it is probally no necessary for your application...

Depending on the year of your XJ (-95 or +96 ) at just three inches you will either have very minimal vibes. Or just need a tc drop.

I am assuming you got a good deal on a SYE and are using a front drive shaft in the rear. By the time I pay taxes and shipping + duty (I am a canuck) a AA or **** SYE + quality driveshaft will run me clost to $600. I could use a front driveshaft but the time I rebuild the CV and pay for the SYE it will still be more expensive than the above shaft. Anyone buy one of these things? |

that will only mask the problem. you will still wear out the bushing in the slip yoke and then get vibes. i would save up, find a good deal, or not worry about it. i wouldn't trust a cv with a slip yoke tho...

i have crazy vibes at 50 mph with 3". i got to get new u-joints like every 3 months. im tryin to do a sye right now but i've been having problem after problem. i dont know if you'd call it a vibration as much as a serious wobble.

slip yoke really a problem? Hopefully someone on JF as bought one of these things. I suppose however there is a reason why everyone is not running them. |
