I only changed my u joint on my stock aluminum drive shaft after installing my 9 inch and have had no issues plus the yoke only rides a 1/4 inch farther out then my 10 bolt did. i've put down 1.46 60 ft's on my old set up but am gonna up my shot. do u think continuing to run this stock shaft a bad idea?
That is good to hear, do you have adjustable lower control arms? Your rear might be centered better in the wheelwell, most are back .5".
With 1.46 60 ft times, your factory driveshaft is on borrowed time. Many on here have tuned them into pretzels. Bob

My current PST shaft is still in a box, so I'm not worried about any vibration at this point. The prior issues were with another setup. My concern is for when my new rearend arrives and we go to install it.

quick question how long is a stock aluminum driveshaft vs the steel since the steel appears a lil longer when i put them side by side
reason i ask this is because i bought a roller that had a strange 9in but it stock driveshaft works with the rear yolk setup and he said he had no prob running a aluminum driveshaft thats stock length on his car so i swapped it over to my car and everything seems good i just dont want to have too short of a drive shaft
also which normally breaks first steel shaft or aluminum, i know i can sell the aluminum one so if thats gonna break ill just use the steel at the track this weekend

no no. i meant that the x measurement was 45.25 so i need to buy the new drive shaft. i worded it wrong i guess

so here is a question for you. my rear yolk on my 9 inch was not a 1350. i just ordered a new moser 1350 yolk from jegs a little while ago. should the overall length stay the same or should i play it safe and install the new yolk and remeasure just to be safe.
i am 99% sure it should stay the same but that other 1% always kills me

ordered mine last night. thanks for getting back to me this morning bob. i was unsure if i got to order the correct one, even though i checked the (9 inch) botton on the initial screen it did not ever mention that i had added that on when i was checking out. i just wanted to make sure i got the right one the first time
