Proper travel for slip on driveshaft

    Strider380 Can I have a zip tie?

    Just wanted to verify how much movement is safe in the front driveshaft. I've search but couldn't find it spelled out anywhere. If I remeber correctly it should go an inch both ways?

    It really depends on your particular suspension setup and the amount of suspension travel you have..

    yjis is correct, you see you do not want the shaft to separate, or to find the end of compression. Either would mean bad things.
    here is a measuring guide
