Default Coast Drive shafts

Anybody running them on the front? Any feed back on them? Who are the dealers on here that sell them?

Lots of people running them on this board. Very good product. Can't beat the free shipping through Northridge and I think they still have the 5% off until the 1st. Better hurry.

What they said. I run front and rear with no problems for over a year now. Ordered from Northridge, and you get free shipping.

Also, you want a torque wrench, you can rent one from any auto place. I had to go to the store 3 times just to find the right socket size.

I know the front and rear will need different sizes sockets from each other. I don't remember which one is what, but here are the three sizes I have in my bag - 1 1/8, 33mm, 1 1/4.

Maybe someone can help out with the right sizes. Other than that, I just used the project-jk write up and things went smooth.

You want the ones with the replacement yokes. The direct bolt-on ones are prone to vibrations.

I've got the front, never installed one before. It was easy. Get an impact gun! Helps with the install and makes taking the skid plates off and on easy too. Northridge is the place to get it.

Running a Coast front driveshaft, nice and smooth. Be sure to have a gear puller cause the flanges do not just "pop off" , not even close . Do go with Coast and new yokes and you'll be happy. Northridge will treat you right!
