is there a specidied length shaft i should ask for ?

I would order the multiple double cardin direct from Tom - Procomp wont carry that on the shelf I wouldn't have thought. You will have to get under there with a tape measure, it doesn't take long. The front should be something around 620mm.

Multiple DC? Does this describe a DC joint at both ends of the shaft? My Woody has a DC at the TC end & a single uni at the end where it bolts to the front diff. Slip joint in the centre. What benefits are there to a multiple DC shaft?

Hi the problem i have is I will be putting a 3" lift in the car.
At the same time i want to change the shaft over as a precautionary measure.
So measuring without a lift may be giving me the wrong length?

was 620mm for a standard height car ?

not much standard about slunnies

Yes just realised his is far from stock having looked through his website photos.

i noticed you have upgraded both shafts to the Tom Woods shafts. do you think this is a better path to go down rather than just doing the front shaft ?
If anybody else has done this please feel free to comment.

Disco_Disco, you may be ok with the standard length D2 front shaft they sell. Ours has a 2" lift and I run the TW off the shelf option from procomp.

If you do need a different length it will have to go direct. Just provide them with the lengths they show on the website

Thanks mate, although from what iv'e been told the standard length won't work as the angle will be to great because of the +3" i am putting in.

Do you think I can clock up another 300 km before changing or is that pushing my luck.

All repaired. Didn't have time to do it myself.

Costs: $271 at Hardy Spicer Eagle Farm & $88 for the mechanic on Schneider Rd & Kingsford Smith Dr to remove and replace.

Parts Used: K5-A757(front), K5-L4R x2 (rear) & SCV-082A. SCV-082B might be for the earlier models.

Quote by usual mechanic for $800 and $1200 from LR.

Very noticeable backlash even when driving in Daisy mode with the front shaft out so minimised my travel (maybe 30km) with the shaft out and CDL engaged.

Symptoms (for front drive shaft): Vibration in the steering wheel at various speeds, no noises.

Happy days.
