[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1108195, member: 17493"] it doesnt make sense, they are small. but they are strong if kept in grease. I sometimes wonder if any of thier strenght comes from being small. if a joint is big across the cross but not large capped, it isnt as strong as one that is same sized capped, but shorter across the cross. more leverage on a longer arm. my friend with a S10 is so anti toyota, we told him a thousand times to run toy shafts, he finnaly gave in when TG made the long spline toy shaft. he claims its not a toyota part, but a TG part so its OK.:haha: :haha: hasnt had issues since, and he has a bit of angle too. he got his flanges at tom woods for the axles. on a 205, I needed a rear flange to upgrade to rockwell shafts. I found one around the shop in a bucket full of yokes, it was 32 spline, but needed a smaller seal. took the old seal and yoke to yelm national and got the right seal. then I drilled out a plate for the rockwell pattern and the chevy pattern and presto. all shafto. flanges are the best. IMO. I ahve run chevs for years, and always had to tighten the front CV bolts, and kill u joint staps/ubolts all the time. never happens on my toyota. I have never touched the rockwell flanges. splitting a yoke right where you need the most strenght is a stupid Idea. flanges are the ****. you can even remove you shaft and the caps dont fall in the dirt.:awesomework: [/QUOTE]
