Driveshafts and yokes

[lrdraca90]

for some reason my driveshafts keep coming off of my yokes..I even put a tie rap around them.....When i install the shafts i dont even really stretch them out that far to get it onto the steel yoke.....is there any tricks or anything you guys use to keep your shafts onto your yokes.

thankyou

How old are your Drive Shafts? What type of drive shaft?

It sounds like the pin holding the driveshaft onto the yoke must have stripped or worn out the hole in the driveshaft. I would inspect the grub screws and replace if necessary. If it has worn out the hole in the driveshaft, it may be possible to repair by drilling out slightly and using a larger grub screw.

I can't remember if the steel output yokes use two grub screws on either side, or a longer one that goes right through it. If it does use the two small ones, it would be better to switch to one that runs through it.
