Help help help! Need driveshaft

[mr.mindless]

It looks like there's a portion of a seal surface on that yoke, and it really is _broken_ off? I have _NO_ idea how that could possibly happen without the whole yoke having damage. I'd check carefully for the driveshaft being too long and bottoming out - but I don't know how that could possibly break the yoke that far up even if the bolt were loose and there was some play in the yoke.

This unit should be at m4...Definitely not here. *eyeroll*

fact!

That looks like an aftermarket tailhousing so whatever kit they got most definitely should have had the correct yoke, really weird.

Also, 96 or 97 was the end of the 231 with sealed slip yoke, went to just greased slip yoke around that time so it never would have had a seal there from the factory.

I thought a typical 4.0 AW4 Cherokee front shaft should fit the bill, but that may be more universally true for the hack and taps than the HD replacement shaft units. Measure the front shaft on it and compare, but 36" sounds long.

Just throwing it out there, I use normal front shafts with my Advanced Adapters HD SYE

Vic in Bristol do all of my drive shaft work. Excellent service and usually have parts in stock

Another vote on that's a full SYE kit, not a hack n tap SYE.

OEM is closed.
I believe Vic is getting set up in a home shop to do work, not sure if he's planning to continue more on the shaft or engine side though.

He is still in business. I just had a front driveshaft rebuilt by him. He's LOADED with parts and equipment in his shop behind his house. Must see

Looking for contact info for Vic. http://ontario.os-cubed.com doesn't work. Sierra needs a rear driveshaft made.

I don't think they "repair/rebuild" shafts anymore.

New business model is new made to order to your door.

They might will do that if you ask Vic!

My take is that Vic and Loco would like to do new builds and not mess around with rebuilds.  Having said that it someone wants a rebuild and doesn't show up with a bunch of bullshit rusted junkyard parts to save a dollar They will rebuild your a shaft.   Remember this is a business and talking to them for 2-3 hours about how to save you $50 and then expecting them to only bill you for 1 hour of actual machine time is a stupid business model.  I.E. why they closed to the public.
Give Vic a call.  They just did a great rebuild for me on an Italian made machine for champagne filling and capping.
