Shorten Your Driveshaft:

cool thanks

 

Glad this was brought back up...great tech.

 

Just dug this up, Ill be using the Tech, thank you

 

Great Tech here!

 

The only drive shaft that I ever had vibration problems with was made in a machine shop. I have shortened several using a method similar to the one use by the OP and never had a problem with any of them.

 

Great tech! Could also use a hose clamp as a guide when cutting.

 

Been a while since I've seen this thread
I used this method to shorten a drive shaft for my coupe
Worked great got it down to .003 no vibration at all, and never had it balanced.
Thanks to the original poster.
I saved a bunch. Only cost out of pocket was a harbor freight magnetic base dial indicator.

 

You can rent the large tubing cutter from most rental places, contractors use them to cut lolly columns. Much better than trying to follow a line with a hack saw and way faster.

 

Getting more difficult to locate these in aby kind of shape.
