End play was way out Once the wheels bolts where torqued up I think that pulled the shaft even further? Either way, sorted it all back together! still gonna keep the timkin bearings for now as they looked in good shape no scoring or anything, so need to replace just yet, will go updated green...

Thanks for all the replies peeps! Got plenty to checkout Haven't had a chance to check yet! It's been horrible and cold over here! And the car isn't coming out the garage anytime soon Soon as I discover whats what I'll let you know

Yeah comes in handy haha! he's very well known UK wide. I'm still gonna think this is worn bearing related, as I'm not sure on the history of them. will have a proper look tomorrow, just wanted to go armed up with as much info as to what to look for as possible Tempted to just wack green...

Nah, exhaust are side exits right before the rear wheels

Thanks for replies How will I go about finding what tolerance it's at as I don't have a gauge to measure it with, is there a tried and tested methods otherwise? There should be only very slight movement in and out with the shaft in place? None at all it needs backing off, load and loads it...

Afternoon peeps! Just came back from a little trip in the dart and noticed that passenger side rear axel shaft was ROASTING hot. The drum was cool so ruled out a brake binding issue Driver side was cool as a cucumber, passenger side super hot. Couldn't even touch it. Only thing I've done...

Thanks for your reply buddy! And yeah prop shaft drive shaft same differences I decided to go with a new yoke which has the ubolt type attachment for extra safety as I think the yoke on there is currently a bit warped and the prop... Errr.. Driveshaft as wiggled out of it before leaving just...

Quick questions guys I have a shortend 8.75 rear end from a b-body it fits perfectly in my dart. Also has small bolt pattern a body 8.75 half shafts in there too so my wheels are not an issue. I'm using my original (now shortend to fit) prop that was on the 7.25. Would I need a different u...

I did see these but Trying to avoid any unnecessary expense at the moment! If needs must I will purchase but if it's going to bolt straight up then I can spend that on something else

I kept 5x4 just because it would of mean swapping out my 4 pot fronts or getting the ford.mustang rotor machined which was all extra work. Besides I already have the wheels I wanted Seemed like a lot of extra money for something I didn't really need

Am I correct in thinking cars fitted with the 7.25 from factory would of had the smaller u joint 7260?car in questions is a 70 dart. Only asking as the 'new' 8.75 that's going on is 7260 and if that's that case it should all match up once the shaft is shortened. And I won't need to mess about...

its a 70 dart its going in, the axle shafts just came from a demon. and where VERY good value. changing the front brakes and wheels is something im planning on avoiding for now. as i dont want to loose my KH set up. BBP may be something i plan on doing later on, but right now its the SBP im...

Haha already one step ahead buddy! Cass is getting bugged by me on a regular basis lately But thought I'd pop the question on here too

On the hunt for some abody backing plates as we speak. So that's sorted. I also really want to keep my SBP dog dish cop Wheels. Do 7.25 10" brakes fit 10" 8.75? Just the backing plate that differ? MUST be a bod backing plate with a bod axels shafts regardless of what the axel housing once was...

As some of you may know I have a 70 b body 8.75 It's being narrowed to a body lengths. I have a pair of abody 8.75 axel.shafts on the shelf from a 71/2 deamon Will these a body axels fit inside the b body axel once narrowed to correct a body size? Or should I get the b body axels shafts...

Ah yeah!. Keep forgetting as my 8.25.are 11! The drum brakes on the 7.25 are 10" in sbp form. 4 hole backing plate.

I've read 7.25 sbp backing plates have a different offset to sbp 8.75 extra drilled hole or not. Think I'm gonna have to find some sbp 8.75 backing plates with 10 or 11" brakes

I been thinking What if I was to use my current 7.25 backing plate and brakes (that are fully working) and just drill the extra mounting hole out? Is that workable?

Ok, now we got a conflict going on

Regardless of half shaft type and bolt size?

Howdy again peeps! Another question. I'm narrowing my b body 8.75 to abody width. The b body 8.75 has no brakes jist big bolt halfshafts obviously the b body halfshafts won't fit once it's narrowed but I have 8.75 half shafts in small bolt pattern a body form to use as I want to keep my SBP...

And if this is all done and correct I should have no issue with wheels providing they are the correct bolt circle? And obviously not MASSIVE etc.

I have an old a body 8.25 down the side.of my garage, it's very tired though hence.why I'm.not using it. Are the back plates interchangeable between the 8.25 and 8.75? 3 inch u bolts I have new! Shock plates will come off the 8.25,.so no issue there either Do you know how much either side...

I should say that I have also been offered sbp a body half shafts from a chap here in the UK who upgraded his to BBP so these are spare. (He will measure these over the weekend just to double check) Hopefully it would mean just changing to 4.5 axels when/if the time ever comes up upgrade to...

So, I'm trying to get things straight in my head this. Been reading about this axel swap and have recently got the option of buying a decent 1970 coronet B-body 8.75 sure grip axel(very few and far between here) I have also read that that b body axels (especially the earlier ones due to being...

I've seen this as well, but I already have an 8.25 in A body length ready to go. My small block will be no more then 350bhp so will handle it.. The 8.8 route is alot more work when I already have this.. Still, it's an option though.

I have a 8.25 sitting in my garage, came off a 68 dart. I never got around to fitting it as I was going to go down the 8.75 route, However these are impossible to find in the UK. So I've been doing a bit of reading and hopefully I can get a few things cleared up. I hear the rear discs from a...

Hey guys. Just a quick question. 83/4 are near on impossible to Find in the UK with out paying Mega money. How ever, I have been offered everything from Prop back for a 8 1/4 with open diff for a very good Price. Came of a 72/73 dart I believe. Don't know much about these type, was...
