Jabba's driveline saga...

« on: August 07, 2011, 05:58:32 AM »

Now seems to be over. Got her all together yesterday, and all seems well. The weird vibe is gone, and so is a weird noise that I had been ignoring. I imagine it was actually those spline cup teeth wearing away.

I still think my old driveshaft was fine. In a side by side to the new one... I saw no difference other than color. But for $70 it's got ALL new parts now.

Woo Hoo. Gonna try to ride her 50 ot 100 miles later today for a proper shakedown.

Thanks everyone that helped talk me thru this.

This club sux! crazy2

And you've got a spare. Or a cudgel.

Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.
Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep.
In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.

1997 Valk Standard, Red and White.

They make a pretty good scepter!
