Title: Font Driveshaft Question??
Post by: buddman (AKA Mick) on January 13, 2014, 05:41:31 PM
What one gets better and more angle for a front driveshaft, running a velosity joint with the double u joints or no velosity joint and just the single u joint??

I would think the one with the double u joints and the ball would give you more angle

CV (constant velosity) joint will handle angles better.

a straight u joint is stronger but the potential for breakage increases as the angle does..

Definitely the CV joint.  You can grind the stops off of the yolks and get more angle but the joint will fail quicker.

they has been a lot of new driveline stuff. so you may want to check around. different cv joints that can handle the angles better.
