    cardan joint replacement---is there a wrong way to put on the H yoke?

    So the driveshaft i rebuilt ate itself up at the cardan joint that was replaced. it also locked up at the joint at about 60mph and the stress had to go somewhere so the transmission bell housing fractured. Catastrophic failure to say the least. instead of a new knuckle and take a chance that...

    disregard the post...i found the chapter in the haynes for this.  it is not adjustable so after preloading of the lifters torquing to appropriate specs is what is done.

    Hey M5...thanks for the quick response. I was looking over your response and was already gonna go with the Walker option for the glasspacks because I can get them at oreillys.
