What driveshaft do I have?

[afusco1222]

Another couple questions for you all and thank you for the future responses.

1. Does anyone know what Driveshaft I have? I'm thinking Tom Woods because of the gold U-Joints but am not sure because there is no logo on it anywhere. It is in need of a rebalance, but if I could send it back to Tom Woods for a full rebuild, that would definitely be preferred.

2. ECGS built this rear 8.8 and they have 3 holes for the track bar mounting location. I do not think this would make any difference but I was wondering why they would have so many holes and is my trackbar mounted to the correct one? The problem occurs when the axle is fully dropped, the passenger side spring drops out more than the driver side. This could be an issue with a 5-link suspension but wanted to check here first before realizing that the only way to get rid of this problem is to 4 link. I only realized this when I was checking my shocks at full bump and it was much easier to take the passenger side rear spring out. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem with their trackbar.

I talked with Shawn Wood (Tom's son) about a rebuild once but he said for the cost of a rebuild and balance it isn't much more to just buy a new shaft.

Good to know. I guess I just need it rebalanced as the u joint are still good. Any old driveshaft shop could probably handle it.

Any insight on the trackbar?

Well you did originally say a rebuild was preferable over just balancing it.

The multiple track bar mounting bolt holes are there to accommodate various lift heights. With the Jeep fully on the ground and the axle centered use the closest bolt hole.

It's a currie adjustable bar so I guess it doesn't matter. Thanks for the input
