SUNNY Z Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Regardless of whether it broke because it was not heat treated correctly or because of the stress risers, I'm disappointed that you didn't take my advice and stop running it. But then you couldn't say I told you so! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superduner Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Sweet just got mine today Just made my day this much better So to confirm, what are the lengths that the correct shafts are supposed to have after the recall on the short ones?

JMortensen Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 14 13/16 and the longer one. I think it's something like 5/8" longer. I can't remember off the top of my head. I double checked all of them before they went out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double checked all of them before they went out though. sweet! yeah that's what i got i think i measured the short one @ 14 13/16 and the longer one at 15 15/16. Are these the desired measurements? Any idea of what those cracks are on the second picture though? :/ kinda threw me off that the other shaft didnt have them. Edited October 4, 2012 by RB26powered74zcar 2.8 megs is way to large.

JMortensen Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Your dimensions are way off. The longer one is about 5/8" longer than the 14 13/16. If it were 15 15/16, it would be 1 1/8" longer, and it is more like 5/8. I don't have the spec in front of me. Please don't confuse the issue any more. The second one is your shaft that you sent back. They are not cracks, they're (shallow) dents in the spline. It also had some big dings in the shaft itself. I don't know what you did putting that thing on, but you apparently did it the hard way. I think you put the gear on backwards so that the tapered end of the spline on the gear faced the stop on the splines. Turn it around so that the square shoulder on the gear hits the stop shoulder on the spline and you'll be fine.

Turn it around so that the square shoulder on the gear hits the stop shoulder on the spline and you'll be fine. il re-measure the long onee for sure definitely sounds like i got my measurement wrong on that one. putting them on for some reason was simple enough. yeah i did that i reversed the gear so the (flat) surface bottoms out on the stop shoulder of the spline i figured it would have too much play otherwise. when taking them off however to re sent them to you. it was a pain in the ass taking that bastard off. used a 2x4 on the short one and it came off with two hits, but the longer one had to be forced out with a hammer directly so i got a few hits on the shaft on the way lol. the "snap ring" that goes in the groove on the shaft ended up broken into three pieces so seems like il have to replace that.

NewZed Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 The tape measure in your picture shows 15 3/8". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_w Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just put the new shafts in last night. At full droop they just barely fit into place (which I'm pretty sure is a good thing!). No binding or oddities once it was back down on the ground. Thanks again for getting them fixed Jon! As I was finishing up some random guy drove his Z into my driveway and started talking cars(this is like the 6th time someone has done this to me in the past 2 years). He was impressed with the M2 setup and I pointed him to your website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we were after. Now with the new shafts you have room to use camber bushings or aftermarket control arms without running out of length on the CV's.
