    Don't know of anyone who has tried to change. Don't think its possible because of dimensions. Could buy one U joint and see if it would work Can also buy Sierra equivalent

    Drive removed for the 1st time, gimbal aligment inspection

    Do how ever you would like, its all adjusting to a specific point of 2 fingers in/out I would do one turn on each and then look to see how the marks change. It can always be reversed but I'm just guessing from what your showing.

    Drive removed for the 1st time, gimbal aligment inspection

    I wouldn't unless your going to let it sit without checking for several years. I pull the drive every year and check alignment and do maintenance. If you do it every year or every other year, I wouldn't bother. It doesn't hurt to do so, but if the top nut is torqued down real tight, the...

    Drive removed for the 1st time, gimbal aligment inspection

    Drive removed for the 1st time, gimbal aligment inspection

    Things settle over time and this is the reason for inspecting alignment. Having marks on the top and very little on the bottom I would adjust the front mounts down 1 turn and try again

    Drive removed for the 1st time, gimbal aligment inspection

    Looks like your real close, the the bar should go in and out with only using 2 fingers each way. When your adjusting the mounts, have you been turning each up or down the same number of turns each time?
