I know the whole drive line vibration with the MN tritons has been done too death however when doing my research I really didnt find anything which said that the 1 piece tailshft would rectify this without possibly hitting the cross member etc.
I bought my MN triton glx + with 5 speed manual and easy select 4x4 in june 15 for a bargain at 26990. Then I set about extensively modifying it to be a well rounded work/play/touring vehicle.
I obviously did alot of forum research into which suspension kits would be best suited and i opted for the Dobinson 2 inch lift kit HD option at 300 kg constant leaves. As soon as I put the kit in I developed driveline vibration and so set about the solution offered on this forum not realising that this would be a losing battle. I did the tailshaft spacer.... wedges..... center bearing flip.... removed leaves..... etc with everything improving the driveline vibration but nothing fixing it. BTW I ended up leaving my leave at the constant 100kg as the 300kg was way to HD for me.
It came to an end for me when 2 weeks ago I was booking it in for its 30k service and did an underbody inspection myself.... I was seeing premature wear on alot of the transfer case vibration mounts! This was the last straw for me!
I decided to bite the bullet and sought out a single piece tailshaft conversion..... I went through driveline services Australia in newcastle. The shaft cost $320 installed using my 2 piece flanges and uni joints. I got the guys to lift the vehicle from the rear to ensure it did not touch the cross member on full rear suspension travel and it was close but cleared the cross member by about 10mm. BTW I am not affliated with this business what so ever.
1ST test drive!!!! WOW..... the vehicle felt better than I remember driving it from the dealership floor.... Zero and I mean Zero vibration on take off.... accelerated smoother.... quicker.... such a different driving experience now.
For all those people whom are at a loss with a vibration fix.... well here it is.
Sorry I havnt added any pictures to this post as its all way too hard!
My 2 cents
