Toploader Yoke side play and U joint side play
Working on the car to get it ready for Summer. I took the tunnel of and now will be calling Bob to get new carpets, not every pice but a least 5 pieces assciated with the tunnel. Somebody glued the carpet as if the tunnel was permanent.
Questions:
1) I have .050 " of yoke side play in the 14" tail housing measured at the U joint end cap.
2) My front U joint has .010" of side play. I can see it move. Is this too much?
3) I have 7/8" of slip yoke "clean machined metal" outside the rubber slip ring edge. Can that be reduced since I have the Jag rear end and there is no in and out. Hopefully to gain greater rigidity ?
I can feel a little drivetrain grunting going throught 2500 -3000 RPM, I wasn't looking for problems but working on the ERA Hurst shifter play.
It is Saturday and I am sure the drive shaft shops are closed.
Google searchs of the subject not real clear on the yoke side play issue
