Re: The Colorado BS thread
You throw off your caster with a double cardan shaft since you point your pumpkin up at the case yoke , so unless you rotate your inner C you throw off your caster you don't point your pinion up like that with a single cardan shaft. Drive shaft phase isn't a big concern up front fir me since it's never seeing speed and when on road the hubs arent locked so shaft balancei isn't an issue . I can travel my current 1310 shafts full cycle no binding , but the 1310 is kinda small joints and not a real confidence builder , however a 1350 dc joint uses the same centering ball as the 1310 and it has less misalignment capability so it may bind and that's what's going snap joints ... so a big single u joint like a 1410 should offer more travel before bind , but I may be missing something, but from a glance it looks like a single u joint shaft works better than dc joint here , and it should even add length to my drive shaft since it takes up less room at the case than a DC joint .
I'm guessing not because your on the extreme end of building, but does this not effect the efficiency of your steering, knuckles/angle?
I'm getting you plan to align caster with DS first, the rest is second thought or doesn't matter for your set up?
Eager to see how it turns out!
