Re: TOY: Re: Rear CV driveshaft Q

[David Morrison <davidm3286@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm, maybe thats why I have minimal vibration with
pinion pointed above the tcase flange... minimal given
that it is a trail truck.  I flogged it up to the mid
70's for a 400 mile trip last weekend, I had some
vibrations around 55-60 but if I just went faster it
was all good ;^)  I do worry about the pinion getting
good lubrication and will usually fill it on a
downhill slope to get as much in as possible.  And I
always thought the prior owner had set it up for CV
and just never gotten around to it.
