The one you built looks like it should do the trick.....good job!
you might get some vibration noise without some rubber cushion though.

yeah i dont like it either...but the only place i see the heavy duty ones is either at a swap meet or a roadster show...as for the vibration noises...it wont bother me too much cuz i already have thump thump in my ear so i dont hear much lol...
but if its bad due to no cushion thats my next plan is to make one with polyurethane

thank you so much for all this info i was only aware of a few of these...my dad is always the one that has re-assembled my driveshaft in the past so im not 100% sure he "times" the driveshaft correctly but i will make sure i do that this time...and i will also check pinion angles etc....but to be honest...i think my support bearing looks bad a** lol and i really hope it works
oh and by the way i did not have time tonight to install my driveshaft so the next time i will get a chance will be on thursday
