Lowering sprinter, tailshaft uni flange rubs.

[Hachi_Tom]

Hey everyone

lowered my car a little bit more in the rear yesterday and now my tailshaft to diff flange uni scrapes on the underside of the tunnel.
what does everyone do when they lower their 8-6?

do you just bash that shit out or what?

rails are about 40-50mm off the ground...

Cheers,
Tom

not many go that low..... but yeah i guess without adjusting the snout of the diff, bashing would be the best option...

damn haha. such a small place to be throwing a hammer around lol.

weird that some people get that issue but i never did, why not just get 1pc tailshaft made up a little shorter? ? shouldnt cost too much

[lolwat]

drop down your tail shaft if it helps??? and get your self a good hitty stick thing, so you dont have to get the hammer up in there(old C/V shafts are good or 1/2 extensions)

Mate, if you get some adjustable rear trailing arms you can angle the front of th diff down, even if you only get upper trailing arms, that will fix it.

Thats what I did, but I let it slap for a couple of weeks first.

well if your lazy think about it hardened steel vs sheet metal the uni will defs win

^ This lol.

Bash it or cut it out? We just let it smash on ours.

[Hachi_Tom]

yeh mines been smashing for a while but since i lowered it, its almost constantly scraping....... just annoying more than anything. adds to the other hundreds of wierd noises 86's make ahha.

[lolwat]

its just another thing that make it unique

but cut a hole or bash it
