Lol I had the same problem mine was a grinding noise like the brakes were bad..and I couldn't figure out what was going on, told my buddy that I would check brakes on day off before going to buy brand new ones because didn't think it was it due to not needing..and behold when I went to take lugs off they were already loose...tighten them down, and goodbye noise..I figured that when I was working under the hood I dropped a nut in the bay, couldn't get from the top so I took wheel off but never tightened when car was back on the ground...saved money in the long run but glad nothing major happened that could have

Live and learn. Useful video. Always start with the basics, even get a notepad and pen and write down the issues, then step back, look around the car (or any mechanical thing) and analyze the problem. Always start with the simple stuff. A little thinking goes a long way. I've been a mechanic for over 50 years and using a checklist can really help.

Whoaaaaa that’s crazy! Glad it’s fixed now, don’t even sweat off the drive shaft lol. You were going to get it in the future regardless 😂

I like how he says in honesty phrase included not arrogantly because he says, honestly, “nothing ever goes as planned.” It shows good character. When I work I happen to do this type of mechanical imperfection and have to tweak pertinent brackets or tighten screws to correct torque because I’m either exhausted or feeling stronger so it tends to focus on proper placement is very important for the time but never perfect because something normally doesn’t go as planned because I’m not a professional mechanic but a practical mechanic.

As a technician. I have done that too much as a new tech. Luckily I caught it before I gave it back to the customer. Small stuff like that is the bane of most shops because it's easy to screw up and could cost hundreds to fix if not caught.

At least it was a simple fix and not something more. We’ve all been there!! Glad she’s back in action, with an early gift of drive shaft. #dotygang

No doubt, it should be one of the first modifications anyone does to a modern Mustang.

This reminds me of when I first brought home my 09 shelby gt500 it had a clucking noise when you would put it gear kinda like a worn ujoint, I took the drive off it was fine looked at everything it was fine, finally took it to the ford dealer and had them check it completely since it was still in warranty, they told it had something to do with the after market clutch and shifter which I thought was total BS, anyway I was really thinking of changing the clutch which was a good $ 1400 after awhile the noise seemed to go away by itself, turned that the problem was the Honda dealer where I bought put regular gas instead of 93 octane, the noise I was hearing was the engine struggling with the cheap gas.

Psa use a small amount of graphite antisieze on the mating surfaces of the driveshaft when you install it to make it a million times easier if you ever have to pull it out again

Did u ever check the rim or the lug nuts? This happen to me once. The noise you hear is because the holes on the rim got wider or the lug nuts are about to break off.

I couldn't help but think of Ron White talking about lug nuts on his vehicle and the tire came off. He made it pretty funny. 😂

Now I know how to convince the wife I need a new aluminum drive shaft. Loosen the lug nuts

The 49R battery is better than the 96R battery. It's made for the cars with active alarm which are almost all cars these days. Love your videos!

My clunk is the slip yolk in tranny needed greesed like the trucks. Also Not a dent in exhaust. Mine was like this.

on the upside, you probably freed up 6hp to the rear wheels with an aluminum driveshaft

Great attitude for the circumstances. Hate it for you but you got a great mod out of it.

JRD, you ever experience any vibration at highway speeds after lowering your car and putting on the 20” wheels? I just lower my 12 Boss 302 and added RTR tech 7’s 20” wheels with Nitto555 tire, as well as BMR pan hard bar, eibach adjustable lower control arms, and BMR lower control arm relocation brackets. Just ordered BMR upper adjustable control arm and bracket. Just curious is anyone has had this issue with their S197 after lowering and installing new wheels and tires. My issue is I don’t know if it’s a tire issue since they are all new nitto 555’s or driveline issue. I installed both at same time and have had tires balanced twice. It mostly at highway speeds over 70 it’s goes from a steady vibration to a more noticeable vibration. It’s odd smother vibration to a more pronounced vibration on and off with a slight whine during acceleration only at highway speeds. Hard to tell what it is since did all these mods at the same time.

Happens to all of us. The more complicated to job, the easier it is to forget the super basic things. Good thing is the two piece drive shaft is is gone ahead of schedule. They are crap anyway.

@JacobRDoty

5 жыл бұрын

Oh dang. The more you know!

Not a waste of money . You did GOOD upgrades!!

How can you tell if your carrier bearing/ 2 piece driveshaft are starting to go bad? (Mostly stock non tracked car) I’ve got an annoying rotational noise that sounds super similar to a wheel bearing going bad. ( helicopter inside your car ) from say 35mph and gets louder as I speed up. I have a slight vibration at varying speeds, but I mean that could be a bent wheel as well. I’m trying to figure this out without throwing money at the car that I don’t need to.

Are you planning to add a safety loop?

I'm a year late but I've been working on my own cars for awhile now and you always start at the wheels when there's rotational noise....yes even start at the lugs.

Did you had to remove the exhaust to install the one piece?

Hey I need a driveshaft for my 14 gt i think it has a 2 inch drop on the rear can i still use a 1pc ?

What front brakes you have on there? The calibers

What torque specs did you use?

hahahahaha...well at least the UCA with bracket and the one piece aluminium driveshaft are both excellent upgrades

What type of merchandise are you selling ? The decals are sold out btw

Man when I twisted my driveshaft at the tract i broke the carrier bearing and it also bent up into my mgw near the input shaft. So the only way i could get the drive shaft to turn to reach that 4th bolt was drop the clutch while it was on jack stands. Then it was somewhat seized up and we couldn’t get a flat head or anything to break it loose. Dropped the clutch again and wallllahhh.

I'm at 11,000 Miles on my 2017 I get that dumpy, Clunky feeling too. I haven't done any Mod's except for the Steeda $24 Clutch peddle spring.. Which is the best drive shaft to get, and cheapest?? Planning on, an 1. Xpipe, 2. Steeda Trans insert, 3. One piece drive shaft, and 4. Steeda body mount for stock shifter. Thinking about an MGW shifter if the Ladder doesn't fix the clunky dumpy feel.. Mine doesn't make noises like the way yours does in fact I am still low miles and in Good shape, But want to get opinions on which drive shaft to get for my 2017 GT??? Like I said not looking to spend to much more than a $1000 to $1300 on a drive shaft????

I figured you didn't need the drive shaft but at least it's better than the 2 piece steel one.
