drive shafts


Craig,

Don't forget that the Not So Big Trailer Company offers restored drive
shafts that have a new steel sleeve pressed over the existing steel after it
is milled down for the perfect new surface for the double lip seal to seat
on (if needed) and a grease zerk for the splines if your particular drive
shafts doesn't have one originally. All drive shaft restorations use
replaceable stock size U-joints. If the splines portion is bad, the drive
shaft is not restorable. The rubber boot is replaced only if needed as our
goal is to make them affordable. And they are much lower priced than new
ones.

All restoration include the desirable 90 degree zerk in the cap of the
U-joint nearest the gearbox for easy greasing from outside the car. All
types of drive shafts are brought up to the standards of the best type.

We know that these restored shafts are better than the new ones since the
U-joints can be changed if ever needed. I've heard it said that the splines
are not restored. But do they wear out?

Of course, you could spend more and buy new ones and maybe send them to me
later when new ones really get expensive! And we will be happy to sell the
double lip seals to you at a much lowered price than you can buy them
anywhere.

All 3 types of drive shafts can be interchanged. It is not important to have
the same type on both sides, although it is the nicest.

If you send me yours to be restored, the turn-around time is about two
weeks. I can send you restored shafts that I have in stock and charge you a
core charge so there is less downtime.

By the way, I will pay $75 per restorable drive shaft if you have any laying
around.
