CV Angle ???

[Skandocious]

AHHH skan ur not even talking about the right part of the truck and BTW thoes are not cv joints on the driveshafts they are slip joints lol they are not even close to cv joints... lol the new f150's have IFS... and insted of u-joints up front like our trucks they have CV joints which are inside the black boots...

Yeah I was thinking rear driveshaft before I saw what everyone else was saying

The 2nd set of driveshafts that I pictured have a CV joints at one end, thats the part I was referring to, not the slip yoke.

And the only reason I posted a picture of mine is because I have seen the term "CV" used loosely to describe both ACTUAL cv joints and also just 2 piece shafts in general; though I'm sure the latter usage is quite wrong, lol

By definition-- CV joints are 'constant velocity joints' that are used to compensate for harsh driveline angles. On auto's you typically see two u-joints used together to form a single pivot point in the shaft, as seen on the black driveshafts I pictured.

Reguardless, after pulling a sled 240 something feet dead weight 6K lbs, in 4 low, im sure you would have found your weak points right there. After the phone call it seams you did just fine. If they didnt break then i dont think they will break any time soon. Good luck man, truck looks sick!

NONE of thoes driveahsfts have CV joints lol!! CV joints HAVE TO be in a boot because they HAVE to be packed with grease!! here is a cv joint.....

I edited my previous post so be sure to read that.

Sorry I'm mixing my terminology. What I'm speaking of is a CV driveshaft, which utilizes double cardan joints. Google "cv driveshaft" and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Double cardin joint used on CV driveshafts:

CV stands for 'constant velocity'. It is just referring to the fact that the shaft spins at constant velocity, as opposed to a single piece driveshaft which does not.

ok skan i will give u that i guess.... i was just saying that those so called "cv driveshafts" doesn't have anything to do with what we were talking about!! LMAO
but no biggie i just really know my crap when it comes to front suspension designs...just ask mike LOL!!

Dude no doubt. I'm the first to admit that I don't know JACK about anything post-1996. IFS is completely foreign to me, so when I heard "CV" I was thinking about CV driveshafts, which I AM somewhat familiar with. Had no clue what CV joints were though

 

[Mr. Stroker]

Anal(ly) obsessive of the way it works is what i think of it lol.... Im rockin' straight axles and U joints for the rest of my life

Yeah I'm not sure if I fancy all of the complicated stuff on those newer rigs... But I do bet that his truck rides REAL nice compared to mine.

 

[Mr. Stroker]

Ride quality is for sissys. My next truck aint gonna have any suspension, axles will be welded to supports that are welded to the frame, not gonna be street legal tho lol

 

[TheRoadVirus]

For the sake of the argument, you both have IFS... lol.

 

[Skandocious]

For the sake of the argument, you both have IFS... lol.

Nahh... Not by the true meaning of the phrase... Yeah it's kind of independent but not like the newer trucks.

 

[Mr. Stroker]

Independent Front Suspension ='s IFS

lol durrrrrr. Our trucks are independent front suspensions, TTB is fords stupid name of the axle design.

 

[Skandocious]

I know what IFS means... But the TTB is not the same as the new IFS that have the CV joints like we were talking about earlier. THOSE are the true definition of IFS.

YEP I agree with you 100% skan!! Its still "IFS" but not ANYTHING like these new trucks. In my opinion TTB is kinda a BULL $H!T version of a IFS design.... lol

Read: Piece-o-crap

 

[Mr. Stroker]

Piece of crap? Not at all...

Edit: how can someone say its a piece of crap axle when they never even use it??

 

[Skandocious]

Because these front ends have to be aligned more often than I fill up with gas!!

It's just not a very strong setup. And no I'm not speaking from experience. This is what I've been told by people who DO use their vehicles offroad.

 

[Mr. Stroker]

Mines been aligned once when i got my new tires, No sagging at all, even after jumping at the dunes and hitting mud holes.

Fair enough... So I guess all those guys who rush to do solid axle swaps just do it cuz the labor is fun...
