The car I had previously worked on and walked away from has now landed fully in my lap. Theres a couple of issues that need addressing. The former crew chief had changed the lr underslung to xr1 demensions and ie increased the drop quite a bit. Now, the driveshaft is bottoming out and has worn the tailshaft bushing out twice. Whats my best fix.......a)shorter yoke, b) shorter shaft(it is carbon fiber), c)lessen the drop?
You forgot lengthen wheelbase, tune it for less steer, move engine forward, 1000# 5th coilQuote:

I actually thought about lengthening the wheelbase.Quote:

The owners "repair" shop told him that. I wont actually have my hands on the car for a couple weeks.Quote:
