My question is about the fitting from the rear drive shaft to the middle outdrive on the middle diff.

I didnt pay attention to har far inset the the drive shaft was to the middle outdrive before pulling the rear apart. After I got everything back toghether I notice that drive shaft was fitting flush in the outdrive. None of the other drive shafts fit like this one as the cross bars on the ball joint sits in the middle of the outdrive.

I tried to loosen up the middle diff from the bottom chasis to see if i could get a better fit however I had no luck.

The cross bars are sitting flush in the outdrive and it is secure its just not sitting as deep as the rest are. I spun the wheels and the rear drive shaft is engaged and everything seems to be turnning normal.

Is this normal or should I try to get a better fit before running it?

Thanks everyone.

you can add a couple .2 or .3 shims to make the rear bone sit deeper...but you might have to grind off the tiny lip on the pinion to get the Set screw tight.
