I have seen that boot. I'm not sure it will fit our application. Also I would be concerned about controlling the grease.
On a Land Rover Freelander I have tried this type of boot on a front joint of propshaft but due to high rotational speed it tends to have a short life time. Original solution is very similar to Grenadier:
Sure not in continous mode. Don't have any proven figure but about 15° sounds more probable as maximum angle. For normal U-joint I remember recommended maximum 17°.
I’ve been to their shop before and have some of their custom Land Rover shafts… nice quality stuff. They are about 40 minutes on the other side of the mountain from my location.
I agree, I would also think continuous high speed running the CV joint angles would have to be in the range or lower than you are talking for reliability. CV joints on steering axles potentially could do a bit more but you wouldn’t want to be putting a heavy load through them at anything close to their max angles.
30min call with Tom Woods today. Things are moving along at this point. They have agreed that this is something they want to address for us. I am helping to push it along as best I can with designing and motivation.
That said, should we start a list of people that would buy an engineered solution that Tom Woods provides. I'm hopeful we could create an overwhelming list to keep their heads in the game and maybe curb how much I personally have to invest to get the IG market a solution.
My objective is to make a setup that does not use plate adapters. We will be looking at custom flanges on T-case or drive shaft. But no intermediate adapters.
FYI, I am only loosing money on this, I have no financial interest in the project. I just want to move this along and get us the support we need.
I am very interested in a replacement shaft. I am not running a lift but consider the front shaft a known failure point. No adapters is a must and it has to run as smoothly as the OEM unit. That could be very hard to achieve with a double double cardan setup. The other option would be double cardan at the transfer case and the retention of a high angle CV at the pinon. Tom Woods does good work, I have one of their shafts on my Jeep, so hoping they can pull it off.30min call with Tom Woods today. Things are moving along at this point.
