Noob question re: Toyota driveshafts

[Kevin B.]

GRS tells me that they can't stretch a Toyota driveshaft because they can't get the right size tube? They want to retube it using my old joints to the tune of $200 or so.

Does that sound right?

That's not a terrible price. Curtis Tatton's drivelines usually charges me $120-$150 to retube and balance a common sized shaft.

What size is the tube?

 

[Kevin B.]

Looks like about equal lengths of 2.5" wide on the CV end and 1.75" wide on the ujoint side going into the slip joint. It's not tapered or anything, it looks like normal tube.

Maybe my expectations are unrealistic? I was expecting to get quoted around $100.

Look into doing a full sched 40 drive line with stock ends then have it balanced. Works great and much stronger

metric tube is more expensive i was quoted 150$ for my last 1 from gaylons drivelines in lehi

That's awesome, Seth. Lemme get my crossover on and axle moved and I'll know better what length I need.
