The 1442-17 Stub & Midship Shaft is engineered specifically for British Imports, ensuring optimal torque transmission from the transmission to the differential. With 16 X 1.063 splines and a butt diameter of 1.625″, this shaft is designed to handle the unique demands of these vehicles. The precise dimensions, including a tube diameter wall of 1.750 X 0.065, contribute to its strength and durability while maintaining a lightweight profile.
One critical aspect of the 1442-17 is its length of 1.770″ for the splines, which is tailored to fit seamlessly with the 1403-16 component. This compatibility is vital for maintaining the correct phasing and alignment within the driveline, which directly impacts vibration control and operational speed. When installing, ensure that the end-to-weld measurement of 4.125″ is adhered to for proper fitment.
- Verify spline count and dimensions before installation.
- Check runout to prevent vibration issues.
- Torque bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Balance the shaft if any vibrations are detected post-installation.
In summary, the 1442-17 Stub & Midship Shaft is a critical component for British Imports, designed to meet specific engineering requirements for performance and reliability.
