VALKYRIE U JOINT UPDATE
2qmedic:
If the splines were OK, I would take it to a drive line shop or like your machine shop.
They can match up the u-joint, assemble it and then have the capibility to balance it.
The only down side of this would be no high blood pressure and no grief (lol).
Yep, had to do this once before when I ran over a rock while hunting, the rock then rolled under the truck and bent the driveshaft. The truck was dead where it was.
Just think it makes better sense.

Well, I think I lucked out today - picked up a good used u-joint at the local trike shop for $40 - good splines and no slop. After getting home and looking it over I have to tell ya I really don't see how the "fix-it" method mentioned earlier in this post with inside locating snap rings is going to work. Those inside surfaces are NOT machined nor are they flat and parallel. If you are a good machinist and have the right equipment and can do the work yourself you might be able to work out something that works for low cost but I just don't see it working out for the average Joe.
2qmedic:
Oops, my bad, I see what your talking about with the yokes not being parallel.
Good point. :cooldude:
