Driveshaft Orientation, Slip yoke at the trans or at the axle?

Slip yoke at the trans or at the axle?

 

I was taught that the splines always point to power.

 

The internal or external ones? Lol

 

The external splines! The slip yoke would be towards the power. Pretty much everything I seen has been this way include PTO shafts, etc.

 

Make sure it's in time.

 

stupid question... how do you put the rear shaft together? It has caps for the ujoints not the straps

 

Show us what your working on. Spicer driveline? My guess is you have a full round u-joint. Four bolt in caps?

If your unsure what your doing, take the whole shaft to a driveline shop and have it redone and balanced. The quality of the job will be there......but your wallet will be a bit lighter.

 

Yes the rear shaft has full round yokes

 

Clean the yokes up good and remove all rust. Wire wheel or flap wheel works good. Pull the caps off the new u joints. Get everything lined up and slide the new caps in and torque. A little oil or antisieze help the caps slide in nice and easy. Usually tap them in with a small dead blow.
