I feel like an idiot by forgetting which end..

I took both propeller shafts off to replace all 4 u-joints and now I cant remember whech end of the telescoping drive shafts go. If I recall correctly, the telescoping ends is closer to the axle and away from the transfer case...correct?>
65 CJ5 d27 and d44 w/d18 transfer case
Please bail me out.....

Yes

 

Thanks Chuck....

It's hell getting old.....first, the memory....whats next?

(Dont say it....)

 

You don't want to know!!!R)

 

Actually memory is the 2nd thing to go.

What goes 1st is.................hmmm, I forget!!

 

Not me -- my memory is like a steel ..uh..uh..

Oh, you know, one of those whatchamacallit metal things that catches animals....

 

Mine were the other way around? Did the P/O install backwards? wouldn't it be better to have that up higher out of mud the angle would be the same on the universal right.

 

Clay, that transparent tub really helps out.R)

I see you have the transparent engine to match it

 

R)

 

Clay, Speedy's are the same way. Don't sweat it It's correct

 

same with $ sink

 

Mudweiser is the same also Gotta be right..............right?

 

It is right.

 

While it doesn't specifically say it, the FSM shows both shafts with the slip joint closer to the xfer case. Oddly enough, the pic I used for reference is in the brake section.....

 

{whistling out loud}
rear shaft has slip at the t/case end
front shaft has slip at the front axle end
{whistling and walking away}
can of worms, anyway......

 

Funny, I never knew there was another way. Just assumed that's the way everyone did it... Oh well, guess the front doesn't matter R) R)

 

it if works, it's right
seems the discussion always centered about keeping the front slip up higher out of the mud, premature wear
out here, that's not a problem
I really don't think it matters

 

:iagree: If it works, its gotta be right.

 

lol..transparent tub and motor...thats freakin funny.
the guys at work eyeballed me when i burst out laughing.
