Reference: Loose Universal Ends

[Bob Carriere]

I use loctite on all drivesshaft bolts/nuts after finding loose fasterners near the rear of the tranny on the short shaft......

Not sure Loctite is a long term solution for a free fitting U-joint cup.....some mechanics would just dimple the inside of the cup hole for a short term tight fit
but lets face it 75 years and rushed wartime QC may be just catching up.

I would have a NEW yoke installed/welded in place for total piece of mind ......and inspect all other yokes...... no joke!!!!

Amazing what preventive maintenance can save in time later down the road.

I was surprised one year when I found that 3 of the 16 U bolts nuts, different corners, needed to be tightened ..........

Phil.... if you need parts let me know.
