Hey guys, I bought some new axles to perform the full snap ring mod on my Dana 35 Front axles shafts. After I got everything finished I checked the clearance on my yoke for the U-Joints. From what I understand it should be a very snug fit. On a couple of my shafts it is much more loose. I am inserting some pics to show what I am talking about. The first two look too loose to me, but I would think the other two appear OK. Let me know what you think. It seems like any slop in that yoke would be bad when the torque hits. Opinions please!!!
On these first two I can slide the U-Joint all the way in without force on one side and almost all the way in on the other!
On one of these next two it goes to about the chamfer on the U-joint cap and not even that far on the other.
Thanks, any help is appreciated!
Oh, and no I didn't grind out the yoke holes,(I know it looks that way in the pics) I sanded out some of the rust that was in it, but there was a clearance issue before I even did that.
