Game changer propshaft

[Sven]

I would not expect any guarantees on this product. There are to many variables to account for on different rigs, such as caster, lift, tire size, payload, driving style, driving conditions etc. Aftermarket suppliers cannot perform OE style durability testing because of capital constraints. The test will simply be if owners end up getting a long life from the shaft in mixed conditions on various builds. It would not be unusual to expect 50K miles from a shaft of this style. And if it does wear then a rebuild will be simple.

Yes it's something like that , anyway the genuine one is garanted for what ?!!! Don't work

For the moment we use Terraflex Rzeppa , because it's cheap and easy to find , after I try to find a better one .

We have failure with Terraflex on gearbox side , axle side is really rare

Sven,

Assume i know very little. And without making it easy for others to clone your work...

What is it that makes this work without vibrations? And how much is the angle on the rzeppa reduced?

I don't want to step over Sven here, but the Rzeppa at the pinion will actually be at a higher angle because the double cardan joint at the TC is considerably longer than the Rzeppa that it replaced. Will this angle increase be enough to cause the boot to fail on the pinion side, we will not know until owners put some miles on this shaft.

This was referring to the first attempt, universal joint at each end, which resulted in vibrations.

I understood the versions.
What kind and in which speeds the basic UJ-UJ propshaft had the vibrations?

Edit : i see you're in Canarias , difficult to came to me in France ! but easy for me to send to you

Yep, here. But it is possible that I will travel through France next summer.

Yes of course they can copy , but they do it with cheap parts , from China or other cheap caster , and they have vibs in a really short time , good parts came from EU and I use them ,that's why my shafts are good , I use those parts for many years in races cars

I easily can mesure that , but I don't think I have more than 1 degree of difference.

Anyway, 95% of the failures of the Rzeppa is TC side , and with this shaft you can run the genuine axle angle , you don't have to use Metal Cloak arms like with the DC to DC

why would the failures be different depending on the side the rzeppa sits on? are they not the same?

Because the mechanical is turn to the rear , so you have much angle on the TC , but yes they are same

Ok has you want , but I have a limited stock for the moment so just send me a message if you really need it

no. thats been 1/2 the battle. i havent seen a diff side failure posted yet. Thats not to say they arent 10k behind, but, who knows.

I havent see a diff side failure , always TC side
