Can you get driveshaft yokes?

[ferny]

See video and picture for the reason why.

 

I know you can get the flanged one, but what about the splined end? I've picked up a second hand assembly of unknown condition so now in curious fiddling mode.

Ferny,

I once, years ago, replaced the shaft re-using the yoke. It was an enormous job to remove the yoke from the old shaft.

You will be better served seeking a good driveshaft assembly.

Best regards,

I think the yolks are heated to fit and then shrink onto the splines (the proper ones, not the cheese based replacements that fall apart when you look at them)

Might have a whole shaft assembly somewhere if you get stuck. Are you on long or short shafts?

[ferny]

Ta for the replies. Think mine will be short as they're standard herald ones. 

 

I can source one locally but seeing as I can get one posted to me for £35 I went the lazy option. I'll have to swap studs over, may as well do the slave and trunnion too. 

 

I have the time seeing as I've got to fix the chassis where the driveshaft beat and tore it...

Nothing wrong with splined yoke shown Just a little beat up JUST USE THE SUCKER. Changing these is a propper SOB !

It's not round any more.

 

Also, after driving it for a few days since replacing the assembly the diff has gone. I suspect it failed and caused the uj to expire and I've just been lucky it took a day or two to show up again. And thankfully near enough to home to get it to bang loudly on the way back.
