RogerV Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ok am I missing something on the yokes and I will try to explain it the best I can. I am getting ready to have my drive shaft made and in checking the 4 universals they are all the same part number and measure the same with a micrometer. the tube size from the front shaft is different from the intermediate shaft by about 1" so I cant use the input to the rear end on the front shaft. I pulled both yokes off and thought I could swap them but the inner diameter is different. the only difference I can see is the input on the rear end was deep angle and the front is not. ?? I dont want to do this twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Roger Mine were the same front and rear but I understand that is not usual. I think it was about $200 to have mine lengthened. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDirectionHome Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Did you measure them width wise. Example: 1760 yoke will be wider than a 1710 with the same diameter cup O.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerV Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Stekay: all the cups on the yoke are spicer spl170 Front shaft and rear shaft and measuring inside the yokes at the centering stops for width they are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob A Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 That is quite possible, it's an option to have them all the same size when ordering new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrap Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 It is fairly common for trailing arm tandems to have 45 degree yokes on the interaxle. In theory they will bolt to a regular yoke but I don't think I've tried it so I can't really say. A 39 spline SPL170 regular yoke is real common and should be easy to get pretty fast. What axle model? SPL170 interaxle is also a different tube size than SPL170 main d/l so that is probably what you are seeing. But usually is only 1/2" less and 1" less would be the 4" tube 1710.
