    Using a cv joint and a universal joint on the same shaft

    Awesome info, thanks guys! Makes pretty good sense -- thanks for saving from making a pretty good mistake. Mike

    Using a cv joint and a universal joint on the same shaft

    Something else to point out is that the shaft will between the CV joint and the u-joint will only be ~8". Thanks again, Mike

    Using a cv joint and a universal joint on the same shaft

    Very good information -- fortunately this is a rear axle so I do not need to worry about steering. Michael, how severe could the 2 per rev be -- would it be enough to destroy the u-joint? I suppose that vibration is coming from the imbalance of the yoke -- can you balance the shaft? Thanks, Mike

    Using a cv joint and a universal joint on the same shaft

    Does anyone know of any issues making a half shaft with a inner cv joint (which allows the shaft to change length) and a universal joint in the outer position (instead of the outer cv joint)? I have space limitations where I can't seem to fit the outer cv joint... Thanks, Mike

I have attached my chicken scratch if you can...

    Needle thrust bearings

    I was looking at a thicker washer... they come .030, .060, .092, .123, and .154. To put anything thicker than the .030 will require additional machining, that is the reason I started with .030. All the other ideas are great if this was a clean sheet design, unfortunately I am stuck with the...

    Needle thrust bearings

    I am looking to use a needle bearing and a needle thrust bearing together. The needle thrust bearing will use a .032" washer on both sides. The shaft diameter is .75”, the OD of the needle bearing is 1”, the OD of the thrust bearing is 1.25”. So good portion of the washer will go unsupported...
