when u put a toy axle on the rear do u just have the driveshaft crooked since the rear output is offcenter? would that make the u joints chatter more?im just curious, i might get a sami in the future.

I'm running a centered rear Toyota axle with the Samurai tcase. I have added a few inches to the wheel base, making for a longer drive shaft. I've had no problems with drive shaft vibration. Mine is good up to my top speed of 60 MPH
