I started my DSS driveshaft install around 1pm today. I bolted up the front of the driveshaft but I can't bolt up the rear because the driveshaft seems to be too short. I've installed the black adapter plate to the pinion but there's a big gap between the pinion and driveshaft as you can see in this picture...


No instructions were included. Is there a particular order that the driveshaft needs to be installed like rear first and then front or vice versa?

Anyone here have a DSS driveshaft that can shed some light on this issue?

Thanks!

 

try bolting the rear up 1st!

 

Did the rear end shift any when you disconnected the factory shaft?

 

Isn't there a yoke that slides?


EDIT: Didn't realize this was a resurrection thread.

Yeah this is old. I solved the issue awhile ago.

 

AND???????

Kmon, spill it.

 

I solved the problem and posted the solution on another forum. Rather than write a page on what I did, here's a link.
