Their theory was that if something locks up badly, and one of the u-joints is definitely going to go, then they wanted to control which one did, and they wanted the rear to be the one that went. Of course there's a driveshaft hoop and, their theory is they wanted the driveshaft flopping around only until you threw the clutch in, not until you came to a stop. Over the last decade, I've heard smart engineers endorse that theory and other ones call it stupid. So, pick your poison, I guess....  |
In all of our Race Cars and all of the Trans Am Cars I drove and maintained over the last 30 years .... we use a Spicer 1350 U-joint and have never had a failure......
Do you think there is a reason for using the best products you can use ......
Lose a race or DNF in a Race and you'll understand why you never error on the side of Questionable products.... Always go with the Quality and Safety products. Especially when it's in the car next to your legs and butt.
