"My slip shaft solution was in conjunction with a
widened front A-arm setup, a total of 4-5 " now
if you have seen a Track/Kick front housing you
know it's not very big, and the additional 2 or so
inches, along with the removed CV cup, you now
have gained a longer CV shaft, about 4" per side,
and about the same as you will gain with a centered
front diff, with out all the hacking and welding."


Thats kinda where I am with the idea as well. If a reliable CV axle can be produced that would allow good articulation and strength without reengineering the whole front drivetrain, it would be a better solution for most people.

This would be almost a universal fit,
so the slipshaft CVs could be put on
a stock or lifted Track/Kick

Is this something you are planning to bring to market?

I have been thinking about it,
but there was much to buy (equipment)
now that it looks like Zukizzy and I will be
working on parts and mods, it's much
closer to being a reality.

This is a simple swap part, I could whip up
a custom set no problem, I'm looking at the
sourcing of parts, and Zukizzy has many sources.

I want to be able to have replacements be on
the shelf, same with parts, this is a part that
lets say the inner CV blows out and you have to
do a trail repair, well you would unbolt the inner
CV 3 bolt flange, collapse the slip spline, get the
broken end clear to pull it out, pop it apart, and
slide a new inner CV and spline onto the slip shaft,
bolt back up to the flange and go.

The outer will be a little harder because you have
to take the hub off, but the procedure is the same

Trail fixes are not hard now, but these would be
even easier, and best part, no inner CV cup, these
would be replaced with a more durable CV that has
no cup, which is the most common failure, so these
CV shafts will be more reliable

That is all I'm looking for Stregnth & Reliability,  Sounds like somthing that would work for me.

     Those look like GM S series cv's (s-10, blazer) looking pretty good though ;D ;D
 
      On a similar topic should the center mounted diff be mounted on factory style bushings or would a more rigid solid mount hold up better I'm very undecided on this myself ??? I'm making my own center section but I haven't decided the best way to mount it

I would think that it would be better staying with the factory bushing.  It would give the front houseing and axils a little extra cushion.

Plus, has the bushings been a problem for anyone?  I don't remember anyone wearing out their bushings.  I don't thing you'll gain anything.

This looks really familiar.

If you stiffen the bushing you will add more stress to the CVs and ring and pinion. If you have a problem with front axle wrap I would add an additional bushing but I wouldnt stiffen the setup.

Sure does...............But it's not maxima components and a welding job. A bit more involved.

Mikes Picture is of the Ford Explorer axle modification article he wrote up for ZukiWorld a couple of years ago. not his Maxima axles. Yes I agree also that it does look similar. All the CV axle pictures posted here look like axles that fit a sidekick/tracker. Wait they do all fit the Sidekick/Tracker!
Can we move on now and talk about drivetrain engineering?
