Front Drive Shaft Update

[landmannnn]

Maybe it just needs somebody to design a better universal joint?

Not having a mechanical engeering background, how hard can it be to redesign something 100 years old?

Front axle redesign is the only real fix… is there even enough room for IA to angle the pinion up before the diff snout/flange and cv-joint interfere with components above at full compression/articulation? Seems like the engine mount and some other bits are close by.

Too bad IA will never do a retro-active fix for existing vehicles but certainly willing to be wrong and surprised by them. Come on IA please do what you know is right for your customers. It won’t make immediate financial sense but it will if you take the long term view however long that may be.
