Why the BIG Double Cardan
CVs?
Torque rating decreases by the cosine of the angle to which the CV is
applied. The higher the angle the lower the torque rating,
so the CV must be BIGGER to compensate. The name of the game is "BIG"
when it comes to high angle. BIGGER means higher torque rating. At 30
degrees, there is nothing left for a 1310 or half ton CV at 1600 ft-lbs. It is
at it's maximum angle and it means it will break. On the other hand, a BIG CV
2ton with 3000 ft-lbs torque rating at 5 degrees, is used to operate at 30
degrees. This is cruising for this CV because it still has a good torque rating
and 15 to 30 degrees of flex remaining (depending on what BIG CV is used).

General Considerations
Please note that in the following descriptions
in most cases the vehicle model is not mentioned because the Drive Shaft
Superstore can fit any drive shaft on any vehicle. If a certain transfer
case yoke or differential yoke does not exist we build it. All drive
shafts are possible given a minimum amount of space to install it.
Note that the options of long splines and high angle CVs are not
vehicle year/model dependent. They can be put on any drive shaft.
It is expected that the buyer has studied his drive shaft or
requirements and know a little of what he wants. Our website is designed to
inform the buyer what these drive shaft assemblies do and when they are
used. Your order form will ask some of the questions below, as applicable.
Example of what you should know:
-
What is your vehicle make/model/year?
-
What is your Transfer case? (look for
a tag or ask your mechanic)
-
What are your differentials? (Dana44,
Dana60, Corp 10, 12, 14..)
-
What are the working lengths? (see:
How to measure)
-
How high is your lift?
-
Do you want high angle?
The general procedure is to
select the drive shaft with the options you need, then if you need them,
select the transfer case end yoke
and/or flanges needed at the transfer case and
differential. If you know what the differential is ( i.e.. Corporate 10
bolt, Dana 60, Dana 44, Dana 30,35 etc..) Please let us know in the
Vehicle Identifications page.
NOTE:
Lifetime warranty on long
splines from breaking, twisting, welds coming off due to high torque (but
not external forces such as a rock), axle wrap, a transfer case or
differential locking up. No one beats our quality, prices, or guarantee.
The CVs are not cover in this lifetime warranty.
We will fix and pay for our mistakes, but, you pay for yours, fair
enough?

This
is the only manufacturer of drive shafts that can take a picture like
the one above anywhere in the world. The Drive Shaft Superstore is the
leader of high angle CVs and long spline drive shafts. We have
agricultural 1 5/8” 10 spline and automotive high speed 1.5” 16 spline.
All splines have life time warranty from twisting or breaking. The
very bottom drive shaft is a spicer type.
ANY OF THESE
CVs CAN BE ADAPTED TO ANY VEHICLE. |
 |
NOTE:
-
All drive shafts are complete with
U-joints and precision balanced.
-
All drive shafts are (greaseable
unless otherwise requested).
-
All drive shafts are built to a
working length you provide us and the strength and u-joint requirements
you need.
-
There are no returns on custom drive
shafts. However, we can credit toward another upgrade. For example, if
you buy a BAD BOY drive shaft and it doesn’t fix as you thought, we'll
make you a BAD BOY JUNIOR and we'll credit the BAD BOY against the
JUNIOR. Make sure that the information given to us is correct. We
guarantee workmanship and that the product will perform to the
specifications.
High
Angle Anyone?
A stock CV begins to bind between 26 degrees to 30 degrees.
All high angle CVs from the Drive Shaft Superstore start binding at the
advertised maximum flex.
The operating degrees are the max degrees that Drive Shaft
Superstore will support that CV’s continuous operation.
The CV bolts to the transfer case side and the slip yoke to the
differential. Seldom are drive shafts built to have two CVs at which time
a CV would be located at both the transfer case and the differential
pinion yoke. These are call compound angle drive shafts that handle
vertical and in addition horizontal angles of the drive shaft.
Unless you request different, a long spline drive shaft will have
12 inches of spline assuming your drive shaft is long enough to house 12
inches of spline. The long splines are usually set at 3 inches compression
and 7 inches extension with two inches always inside the tube. You can
request different compression and extension lengths.

HYBRID HIGH ANGLE (MADE STRONGER FROM
3/4TON AND 1/2 TON OFF THE SHELF PARTS)
NORMAL DEGREES ON
A STOCK SPICER TYPE CV IS 30. Our hybrid high angle 40 degrees.
NORMAL DEGREES ON
A STOCK SAGINAW IS 22. Our saginaw high angle 35 degree.
40 degree maximum,
20 degree operating as a rear drive shaft 25 degrees for front drive
shaft with manual locks.
The high angle hybrid CV will flex to 40
degrees maximum and can be operated continuous at 18-20 degrees maximum. This
CV can bolt up to your 1310 CV style yoke to or flange style in the case
of Toyotas, Suzuki’s, and other vehicles.
For Jeeps, Fords, Chevy’s transfer cases, you
need to swap the transfer case u-joint style output yoke with an
appropriate size END YOKE which is FOUND
HERE when you add a CV style drive shaft..
If you can't find it call us..
The drive shafts below are built for the vehicle you described in
the vehicle identification page. For example, if you say you have a 1982
Toyota, the hole patterns are assumed to be 2 ½ by 2 ¼ at the
differential flange. Note, DO NOT PANIC, if you don't know much about this
stuff, and the information is incomplete, we will call you and you still
get the advertised % off. You can do nothing wrong, we guarantee correct product
delivery. It will be up to us to see that the product is correct as long
as our question to you are answered accurately..
No work is started until we all agree we have the
information we need.
Spicer Type (this one with long splines)
The long spline drive shaft high angle CV
This is a Spicer type high angle CV with long splines
without a flange. This is a high angle CV that uses the extreme travel
design to gain more travel than that of the conventional design. The
drive shaft is 9.5 inches working length. For very short drive shafts.
This is a spicer type with long spline & 40
degrees CV FLANGES FOR ANY VEHICLES
INCLUDING BRONCO II's.
Spicer type standard CV and
Splines used in early Chevy, Ford, Jeep rear, and we can make it fit
anything!! U-joints measure 3 3/16 wide and 1 1/16 diameter caps. The 1310
and 1330 look the same except that the u-joints on the 1330 are 3
5/8 wide.
When
do I need a high angle. (Rule of thumb).
FRONT or REAR:
Lifts between 4 inches higher or when the angle of a single is 7 degrees
or greater.
When do
I need long travel. Rules of thumb. When
the extension (or travel) exceeds 2 inches. When you have build the vehicle for high articulation or high movement of the differentials
with not torsion bars. Usually for rock crawling and off-road racing sports. What is standard
spline versus long spline?
Answer: 3.5 inches total versus 7inch
working travel. We have up to 26 inches of travel if you need it but it
costs more.
WHEN
COMPARING OUR HIGH ANGLE TO THE COMPETITION, MAKE SURE IT IS 35 FOR
SAGINAW AND 40 DEGREES FOR THE SPICER TYPE. ONE SIGNIFICANT LABOR FACTOR ON OUR HIGH ANGLE DRIVE SHAFTS IS
THE AMOUNT OF MACHINING THAT WE DO TO MAKE OUR PRODUCTS FLEX AS WE SAY AND TO MAKE THEM LOOK PROFESSIONALLY
FINISHED.
Ok, I want to order one, how
do I measure?
Saginaw stock drive shaft has
this CV with inside clips CHEVY,
GMC/Dodge Front
This a standard Saginaw high angle
CV that has been cleared for maximum angle of 35 degrees.
Above is a standard Saginaw built
out of spicer type parts outside clips. 40 degree can be achieved.
