Wow this actually helped me, for some reason no one else’s front seal goes bad because i didn’t see any other videos about it. Anyways thanks for posting this
Just FYI the marking the drive shaft doesn't need marked if you are just disconnecting it from the yoke, if you pull the slip joint apart and the front and rear sections at the slip Joint then you can the the U-joints out of phase if they aren't indexed to each other correctly. A fixed 1 piece drive shaft can't be out of sync unless you cut it and re-weld the yoke out of index to the front yoke. So if you had separated the to sections of that drive shaft at the slip joint then you would mark each of them so you would get them out of phase. as a u-joint turn the inside cup slows down and the outside cup speeds up, if the front u joint does that at a different degree of the revolution then the back it causes a vibration. I hope that makes sense.
Makes perfect sense, I only do it as a hold over from what was ingrained in me by my grandfather, father and uncle. It's just one of those things I used to get yelled at for as a beginner and so I do it with out questioning it or even thinking twice about it now lol. I appreciate the education though, I was unaware of the reasoning / when this would be the correct practice to use. Thanks for the knowledge.
My magnaflow cross over I put on my suburban leakes there also put the flang were the exhaust bolts too the rear exhaust is warped on the magnaflow flang. Who ever is doing there welding for them Dosent bolt a block of aluminum too the flang too keep it from warping when its being welded. And let it cool so them aluminum sucks tge heat out of the flang too keep flat and not warping on them it should actually get tig welded there so there isn't so much heat being poured into the stainless steel flang from mig welding it
I hate to rag on Magnaflow, as I've purchased several of their systems now for various vehicles. But I've gotta' admit that the quality they once had has gone down hill in comparison to the cost for their systems. It's a shame really.
