hey guys Im researching rear drive shafts and I have come to what many may consider some silly questions however...
the stock jeep xj comes with a rear drive shaft with a slip yoke on the tc.
I have a 242 TC and im curious if this design works stock....What stops us 242 (or any others) guys from using a new double cardan rear shaft thats built to length for our suspension?
I understand the sye kits transfer stress to drive shaft rather than the slip yoke and TC output bearing, and it transfers the slip to the drive shaft however if this is a viable working stock engineered set-up..... What stops a lengthend double cardan (for vibes) built rear drive shaft from replacing this issue other than maybe limiting straps ? ( of course aside from my already listed reasons for a SYE)
Thank you for your help
