Good advice Johnny. Amazing how many people don't know these simple things. That rah,rah,rah noise is annoying on the trail for the driver and it's a 2 minute fix. There's videos here on RUclips that explains how U-joints speed and slow down on every rotation and when both U-joints are "Enphase" they cancel each other out and you eliminate the noise. I learned this as at a young age because I've work on classic cars with my dad and had several muscle cars and trucks since then. Great video as always. You have a great day.
Hello my friend, I’m learning a lot from this video, thanks for sharing this. I have a question: How tight should the drive shaft end mate with the axle housing? If I see correctly you have a little bit of gap there when you installed it, may I ask what is the purpose of the gap? Thank you again! 😀
@@burdon84 Thank you. The gap does make a little bit of play or slack, if you will, on my unit. Whereas if I install it as close as possible to the axle housing, it is very taut and solid, however, some say it increases stress on the components. Any thoughts on this please? Thanks again.
I've never really noticed any difference in phasing when it comes to crawlers. I assume it's a good idea for faster revving trucks with brushless systems.
@@burdon84 I guess what I'm saying is that when you are creeping over rocks, it's hardly noticeable, if at all. Its like an out of balance car tire only shakes at higher speeds. The good thing is that it's easy to align.
@@Sinaassnipper all crawlers, regardless of the brand have slop.. it's there for a reason, so there's freedom to move to decrease changes of breakages. If your driveline had zero slop, the gears should shred very easily at its instant full stress on them
Alright thanks! I take it to the local crawler park when its finished and ask if someone knows where it comes from. I did everything you did but still not smooth

Great video mate. I never knew about drive shafts having a phase.
Now i have alot of drive shafts to service and check.
Thanks......
My pleasure mate!
Thanks man liking the how to series
My pleasure mate! Plenty more to come yet!
Very cool thanks. Just finished fixing mine, seems smoother now. They were in different directions.
great vid m8, i have the horrible wobble atm on my trx4 so with the help of your vid i hope to resolve the issue tomorrow. thx a ton m8
My pleasure mate!
Your how to series is great..i learn stuff and no i have some driveshaft to check..More videos please...
Have you ever tried graphite powder for the lube on the universal joints?
Fantastic how to my friend, learned alot from this video mate, thank you for sharing this with us all 👍😊🤘
My absolute pleasure mate!

The gap between the end of the driveshaft and diff case technically isn't the important as it varies on all kinds of different brands.

@@summersong88 it'll only increase drag on the driveline if it's binding with something
@@burdon84 Thanks, appreciate it!
Feck!! Never knew this Johnny. Best check all 4 shafts (I know, right) on the MC8 pronto. And heatshrink those badboys too.
Glad to be of service mate!
Excellent vid mate thanks
My pleasure! Happy to help out
Great tips! Thanks
Happy to help!
Great video! Thank you.
If you use the base of the lighter flame on your heatshrink you don't get any soot.
thanks a bunch for the pro tips!
My pleasure!!
Nicely done. 👍 👌 👏
Cheers mate.!
No worries!

Generally speaking the slower you go, the more you'll notice it, it gets worse and worse as speed rises, until it evens out as speed increases

Awesome Brother
Thanks mate!
@@burdon84 🤙🤙
What to do if its still not smooth?
Check for any kinds of binding throughout the driveline. Make sure everything turns smoothly as possible without too much resistance
@@burdon84 I think I need to shim the difs. Su4c has loads of play. Didnt expect that of a flagship version

I have a feeling this very helpful stuff, but can't understand anything you say with that aussie accent 😂🤣
Just kidding, thanks a lot
Haha my pleasure!
Eviten eso y compren el otro modelo de driveshaft, el otro modelo se ve más realista
English?
