i just got back from helping a buddy move a ford motorhome with a 460 motor,its a pusher and the axles in it have u-joints on both ends of the axle,first time ive ever seen that

Alot of them sandrails on the West coast that I seen so far are running mostly 934's, very little that I seen one with a set of U-joints, I have a subscription of Sandsport magazine and don't hardly seen any so far. I am running 930's now, I have broke a couple so far due to jumping and then landing under throttle and clutching it when the tire bit too hard, I also ruined 2 axles, but they were JUNK empi ones, I went through polishing the CV's and now are running SAW axles, no more problems since then, about $700-$1000 will do for a good set of CV's and SAW axles will be the best bang for the buck and should never have to go back. In my opinion of the U-joint axles is that if they break, it could go slapping all over the place hitting your brake lines, a broken piece could come flying out and hit somebody. I heard one time that somebody had a set of U-joints on his buggy and went on climbing a hill then the axle broke cutting his brake line and he flew backwards off of the hill, I don't know how bad it was or him getting hurt, but I rather let the CV explode inside of the boot, then slowly back off of the hill then change it. OK, then why do VW run CV's on their cars and buses? I would rather leave it in stock form and run better CV and axles. I think I would rather spend $700-$1000 on the correct parts if my life depends on it, not on some junk U-joint setup. Sorry for being like this but I just want to lay down my opinion

Can you post a pic of it?

this came out of a rear engine camper with a 460 ford

looks like its been on fire,that bolts straight to the tranny also,wonder how it is connected inside and would you be able to run it with a diffrent tranny,surely you want to run a big block ford,or maybe you would .lol.chad

curious did you try these? if so how did you like them?

No, I have been running type 2 cvs with Deans special order arms. They have held up so well that I broke the spiders out of the diff. Dean has a special setting with the arms that the cvs dont break as much. So I figured I would stick with them. Plus the u-joint shafts are real exspensive!
