Changing Tail Shaft Bushing
An AI search says the tolerance between the slip yoke and the bushing should be three thousandths of an inch. And if I'm doing the math correctly, I have five thousandths of an inch.
So, that's where I'm totally confused. As I stated, everything is new. I will call Denny's tomorrow and give them the OD measurements of the slip yoke. Just to make sure I have the right unit. The splines fit snug, so I'm not thinking it's an over-drive unit. If there's anything off it's just the OD not the splines.
My other thoughts are maybe this bushing is either a mis-box, or Chinese junk. I don't totally remember the brand, but I thought it was ATP. Anyway, I do have another one of those inbound.
