New for the Jeep Rubicon

Tom Wood’s now offers a 1350 CV drive shaft for the Jeep Rubicon. This drive shaft will flex to 30 degrees prior to binding and is a direct bolt in replacement that does not require removing the factory original out-put mass vibration dampener hub. Built on a 3" tube diameter and using the stock 1330 sized universal joint at the rear differential end.

A CV drive shaft is strongly recommended for Rubicon Edition Jeep Wranglers with over 3" of suspension lift to eliminate driveline vibrations. For the Jeep TJ Rubicon edition, a CV drive shaft can be installed in a number of ways.

One of these methods would require changing the original equipment rear out-put flange & mass vibration dampener to a yoke. This type of conversion will yield the longest possible drive shaft but we consider this to be almost a non issue as the net length gain will reduce the operating angle at the transfer case by only 2 degrees in most cases. It is not generally suggested that the yoke type conversion be done on vehicles with the manual transmission. As removing the mass vibration dampener hub will eliminate the torsional dampening effect of this hub and may induce some transmission gear clatter.

The other method that we offer and have had greatest success with is, to make an adapter that mates on one side to the original equipment rear out-put flange & mass vibration dampener and on the other side to the double cardan (CV) drive shaft that we build. The benefits to this type of conversion as we see them are:

* Ease of installation. Does not require removal of the original equipment rear out-put flange & mass vibration dampener.
* Retains the effect of the original equipment rear out-put flange & mass vibration dampener.
* In the event of failure of the CV drive shaft, the original equipment drive shaft can be readily reinstalled with simple hand tools.
* We have had the greatest success with this type of drive shaft in regards to customer satisfaction of drive ability issues (reduced vibration complaints after install)

Drive shaft comes painted black.

** TJ's will require upper adjustable rear control arms to correct the rear pinion angle for the CV drive shaft after installation, and modified rear shock mounts to keep the shocks from rubbing against the coil spring perches. An adjustable rear track bar is also recommended to reduce stress placed on the axle mounting bracket after the pinion angle has been corrected.

*** Optional Extra Flex CV Grind strongly recommended for Rubicon's running 5" or more suspension lift, or 4.5" or more suspension lift combined with a high clearance transfer case skid plate.
