[cobrashoch]

This is a good subject and one that I need to look at. I am switching from motor mounts to engine plates right now and this is the time to correct any thing done wrong previous. I have been told that a driveshaft needs a small offset from tranny to rear end to keep the U-joints working all the time and to keep them oiled.
My hot rodder buddies mostly all say that if you set the shaft dead strait that U - joints will never break but it does reduce their life about 25%. For a Cobra that will never see 50K miles like mine I should be O.K. Now this is for live axles only as a independent rear is different. My rodder buddies say the rear end going up and down over bumps will "work" the U-joints enough to stay lubricated. My present offset is set at 3/8 inch.
