Really a fantastic video (and a great camera, btw, way better than the junk
I’m using) but I only want to take issue with one thing, but it’s kind of
major.
I know the vice has the V’s in it for grabbing round objects, but they’re
NOT FOR DRIVESHAFTS. Those are called PIPE vices, and driveshafts are not
made out of pipe! The tubing, especially on light vehicle shafts like this
is remarkably thin and very susceptible to denting, and grabbing them wrong
in a vice plays hell with driveline runout and can cause vibrations that
are un-correctable without re-tubing the shaft.
The only acceptable place to grab a driveshaft in a vice is with the
regular jaws and on the weld that joints the tube yoke to the tubing.
I didn’t see where you guys did any noticeable damage (I’ve seen another
guy’s video where the driveshaft was CLEARLY egg shaped by the time he got
done squeezing it in the vice and pounding on it, all while he’s extolling
his virtues as an ‘expert’ mechanic…) and everything else you
demonstrated was spot and and very well done, but it’s one of the things I
see done wrong over and over, and it really causes a lot of serious and
expensive damage to otherwise good shafts. It’s always disappointing to
create more problems while repairing another.
METH???
Very cool, thanks for speeding through the repetitive parts!
Thanks for uploading, my cv needs changing
I would have like to hear some Benny hill music during the speeded up
parts. Lol
Well done
Be Careful… you have not respect the phasing of the yoke… now your
aligment is 90 deg off and that will cause a lot a vibration.
Awesome video guys yall do great work. Wanna come to Leesburg and fix my
front drive shaft on my 05 dodge ram 1500?? Haha
You guys a so legit! I would most definitely let you guys work on my own
car! Thanks for the video!
We have been manufacturing Drive Shaft rebuilding equipment for 30 years.
You guys produced a top video.
Does anyone know what the part number or the type of bearing I need to get
to replace my bearings on my 2008 Lincoln MkZ? Need some help thanks.
what grease do you use when u put the yoke back on?
Love your clip and are all carrier bearings basically the same.
hahahaha millipeter!
I like the Millipeter tools !
millipeter…like it
Hi Jafro, congratulations!! Is there any simple way to lubricate the
driveshaft, without having to disassemble? my looks fine, I just wanted to
have the zeal to lubricate it .. after all this time and really do not want
to disassemble. Thanks man!!
Great video!
I need a carrier bearing for a 2007 ford fusion…..aahhh…help@!!!
That’s horrible. What year is your car? The only difference between the FWD
and AWD manual ECU’s from the same year is the FWD cars have a
speed-limiter on them. If it makes you feel any better, it probably didn’t
fry from just you jumpstarting it. They’re famous for having bad capacitors
straight from the factory. They all fail eventually, but most can be
repaired or pre-emptively fixed.
2 in a row, omg this is awesome!
Nice tip on the hammer shock, to the side, insted of inline… I’m usaully
incline to double wrenching rather than putting a hammer to the wrench,
unless its a slugging wrench, which I haven’t seen since I left the
yards…LOL… I also enjoy watching the whole or at least most of the
project in the same day, lets face it, it beats the boob tube!
I would buy that place on the strength of it having an impressive
workshop..LOL – my wife however would probably think differently. All I
know is, you’d make a great neighbour for me!..ha ha 🙂 Keep up the good
and the great, have a nice day… 😉
Be EXTREMELY careful clamping a driveshaft in a vice…..One ding or dent
and you can cause a vibration that requires shaft replacement to get rid
of….some of them are pretty darn thin.
lol 17 millapeter I love your vids man
It’s a 96, I have a 95gst ecu that I want to try but I don’t wanna fried
it, any ideas on what to do?
maybe bad u-joint?
pause at 5:39 LOL that face. keep up the good work.
thanks for another great video jafro
It’s about 1/144th of a dickfer.
Hey Jafro… Once again! Excellent video… What do you think about using
the Torque Solution carrier bearing bushings? According to them, they’re
not made of rubber, but made of Delrin Polymer instead (whatever that
is)… I’m on my way to rebuild my driveshaft, and you’re opinion is
important to me!
So I have an annoying noise that comes in at 30mph, then dissipates at 35
ish, until I hit 60 and it’s there again, and it’s gone after 65mph. I
cannot find that it’s either of the four wheel bearings, could it be one of
these acting up? None of the diffs run hot.
I was jumpstarting my tsi and the The ecu fried, any reasons y and can I
use a fwd ecu on an awd?
Did you use OEM parts
Idk much about drive shaft an I’m looking either to replace the carrier
bearing or buying DRIVESHAFT SHOP ALUMINUM REAR SHAFT 650HP: MITSUBISHI
ECLIPSE 95-99 AWD, let me now jeff what u think about it
Cool stuff thxs
Yes, I agree! I THOROUGHLY enjoyed your grinder series from this week. The
desiccant series, and every last thing you do with the PlasmaCam. I’m
learning tons from your channel and can’t wait ’til the day I can afford a
lathe. If anyone watching this hasn’t checked his channel out yet, what’s
wrong with you? I confess to being lazy on the Lobro bolts. It’s really not
a good practice because the wrench can go flying. Those bolts are really
not torqued very tight to begin with.
Just like new! 😀
A good idea to stiffen up the carrier bearing bushings is to inject silicon
or polyurethane into the hole on top and bottom of the bushing their is a
how-to on vfaq its under drivetrain/driveshaft/driveshaft thump fix with
pictures.
hahahaha milla peter!!! hahhahhahahaaaa
excellent
