Explained: Double Cardan Driveshaft Install
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- What type of driveshaft does your Jeep have? Do you have a double cardan driveshaft already? Do you have driveline vibrations? Do you want to install a Hack N Tap or a slip yoke eliminator?
We'll answer these questions in this video!
Who makes your driveshafts?
@danhambrick6331 Our driveshafts are made for IRO by Adam's Driveshafts in Nevada. Each driveshaft is made using only the best driveshaft components made by American companies, Spicer and Neapco.
@IronRockOffRoad Adam's Driveshaft makes great stuff. I'm glad IRO is partnered with them. 👍
@@atwebb26 We love our Adam's driveshafts!
Great Video!
Just found out that I need new front x rear Drive Shafts for my lifted 2door JK.
@CCF_Christopher Thank you! You're in the right place. We have a couple options for your JK driveshaft needs. We have two options for the front, flange yoke style and one with a new pinion yoke. For the rear, I'd recommend getting our transfer case yoke and rear pinion yoke, then measuring what length you need for a rear driveshaft. It is the most fool-proof way to make sure you get exactly what you need. Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help!

@@IronRockOffRoad thanks I will check this out and get back to you.
@CCF_Christopher Sounds good! Let me know if I can help with anything!
Is that a 247 with the hack and tap?
@CaseyJohnston-fk6bi This WJ has a 231 HD swapped in. The 231 increases the belly clearance versus the 247 or 242.
Great information thanks
@georgemullin7772 Glad it was helpful!
Hello and thank you for the great video . Although I bought a full set of adjustable control arms and 3'' coils for my jeep I still hesitate to go for a double cardan front driveshaft. My question is this : since you have to point the pinion to face the transfer case, you will eventually ruin the caster of the truck (WJ in my case) because you cannot have both ( good caster and the axle facing the transfer case) . So is there a way to have both? (e.x. cutting and re welding the arms of the axle to the correct caster?) And if not - what is better? compromise the caster for a double cardan and poor ride quality or fix the caster and end up with vibrations? Thanks again!
@platonpanagopoulos73 Great question! It is certainly a balancing act trying to get a perfect driveshaft angle AND good caster at the same time. It can be done! A good double cardan driveshaft with good quality u-joints can run at a slightly "imperfect" angle without vibration. We experimented with a JK here and pushed it to 9 degrees of caster, without vibration, just to see how it drove! It did have a brand-new double cardan driveshaft and I'm sure it wouldn't last as long at such an extreme angle, but it worked. On a 3" lifted WJ you can run 4-5 degrees of caster and still have a happy driveshaft as long as it is a double cardan. Many times, people overlook u-joint maintenance and get bad vibrations even though the driveshaft angle is pretty minimal.
The best solution is to cut off the axle Cs and re weld them at the angle you need but on a WJ with 3" of lift that would be a bit over kill.
@@IronRockOffRoad thanks again for your time and your answer! As always ... Legends!
Top notch stuff!
@newlion7013 Thanks!
No matter what I do, I am being blocked from watching this video. Anyone else?
It's working for me. 🤷♂️
Thanks for the heads up, @RANDOMNATION907. I did some digging and haven't found anyone else having this problem. Keep trying and keep us posted. If you still can't view the video, I'll reach out to RUclips for more information.
@@IronRockOffRoad.. I found the problem , its a conflict with my browsers security/tracking/ targeted ads settings , I'm not willing to disable settings but I can simply download the video , watch it , then delete or keep it. It's strange that I'm not running into this problem on every channel. In regards to the video, I double checked my WJ Laredo and my t-case came with the short tail-housing and fixed yoke. Yay!
@RANDOMNATION907 That is really strange. 🤷♂️ But good news on the t-case! Give us a call if you need an answer to anything right away. Sometimes we don't see the RUclips comments right away.
