Technical VIDEO: driveshaft angle and phasing made simple

Driveshaft angle and phasing are actually pretty simple.... until you try to explain them, when it can get difficult quick This little two-minute video lays it out so anyone can understand. Lots of fun.

VIDEO: DRIVESHAFT ANGLE AND PHASING

 

Pretty good video

 

Video is further down the page on Mac's link.

We made one of these when I was in college, majoring in Ag Machanization. There are lots of u joints on farm equipment. It was neat to study and understand. The video does a great job.

 

click where it says Video, takes you to Mac's Motor City Garage & scroll down the page for the video. Excellent demonstration

 

I need to show this to one of my buds, who has that elliptical jive in his drive shafts AND his walk! A keeper. Gary

 

The response to this has been huge, suggests there is a need for clear, simple demos like this.

 

I thought I had a pretty good understanding on this subject but this video is very informative.

 

the logical follow-up video showing operation of constant-velocity joints....

Great video. I knew about the phasing & angle deals, but that really demonstrates the actual real world effects of both. Every car guy should watch this, especially the youngin's just starting out. Could save a lot of head scratching later on. Thanks for posting it Bill.

 

I learnded something today.

 

Thanks for posting and I'll share it with the friend who's driveshaft is way out of phase!

 

I love videos like this that make ideas so easy and simple. Always on the search for more!
