Default Front Drive Shaft Install Help in Indy!!

So I have an auto with the front drive shaft spitting grease. I'm thinking of a coast, but not for sure. I really don't want the one that bolts straight to the OE Flange. Is anyone willing to give me a hand for some free beer?

LOL Thanks for the reply brother. I actually tried PMing you but it said your box is full. No I actually just noticed it today. Cant decide between two different things
1. JE REEL or Coast
2. the one that mounts to OE flange or the other one

What do you think?

There is a guy on the west side that makes custom shafts. He is a little cheaper, but basically a Tom Woods ds... (1310 or 1350)

From what I've read I really only need a 1310. Do you know his number and how much he charges to install?

The place is on west Washington. The price differs depending on length of shaft (ha ha...) the type of material used, and how the ds attaches to the diff/tranny. All that being said, a 1310 ds (front or rear) is 200-400 depending on those said factors. The JL is around 525...? PM me if you need more info (ph#)

Just a thought, plus he is local.

Hi,

I haven't used them; but, it's my understanding that Patterson's is now part of Accurate Driveline. The address is 8360 West Washington on the west side of Indy.

Another Jeeper recommended them for a gear install. I haven't talked to them yet.

FWIW, I replaced the stock driveshafts with Tatton shafts shortly after installing my lift. I was very pleased with the product and their service.

Good Luck

Jeff
