yes, it looks like you're missing an adapter. did you buy it for a forum member? if nothing else, you can probably get one from the manufacturer.

Definately missing the adapter

Is that thing in ass backwards, as well? It looks like it.. You also need to extend the slip yoke out and get an SN95 pinion flange... SOP (standard operating proceedure)

are you sure? doesn't this driveshaft just use an adapter to bolt the shaft to the stock pinion flange?

mine will work either direction, it makes no diff. i had to use a 03/04 cobra flange.

mine is a spydershaft copy

If it does, for the price, that's bull when Axle Exchange provides the flange for free. Damn that... FWIW, I wouldn't want the boot near the road.

There's the adapter:

linky no worky

the roush drag pak drive shafts have the slip joint at the rear. i been thinking about upgrading to one since i've got light duty u joints

The Shaftmasters shaft I used to have and the Powerhouse shaft I have now both came with adapter plates and the boot was facing the front of the car.

You could PM Powerhouse to see if they can hook you up with a flange. Most of them seem to be the same thing in terms of bolting up to the shaft.

is backwards for sure.all the ones i have seen have the boot in the front

Same here , the Coast shaft and the Axle Exchange shaft Ive owned both had the adapter in the rear with the slip joint is the front . Ive never seen a shaft with the slip joint in the rear .

 

[rojizostang]

they'll work either direction. it doesn't matter where the slip joint is.

here's the roush, splines at the rear

Definitely make more options for a DS loop !

I have the same driveshaft. you are missing the adapter. I also had a gap, I just pulled the shaft and the u join spreads filling the gap.

 

[white05gt]

Yeah, you are missing the adaptor.

Yea I will turn the driveshaft around for sure!! Lol. I just stuck it under there for a quick pic. Ok so does the adapter bolt right up?? Or does it completely replace the rear end flange??
Thx for all the help guys!!
And also this thing pulls out?? Lol. For some reason I thought one piece meant it didn't extend. Lol.

It has to, your rear end isn't going to stay in the same position. As the rear axle goes up and down it will change the length. If you hold the drive shaft by the short end it will start to pull apart.

 

[strong_j]

Damn that makes sense!! I'm a tard i know!! Lol.

 

[SuperSonic05]

I didn't know either at first

 

[strong_j]

Ok guys y'all are right. I have the adapter on it's way!! Hopefully it'll be here soon!!

I have a question about this. I put it in and it doesn't bolt in the correct way with the boot up front. Can I just swap u joints around to make it correct?
