Aftermarket Driveshaft Question
I have a Tatton 1310 Driveshaft and will be installing my adjustable control arms soon to get some caster back. I've heard that too much caster and I will get vibes from these double cardan shafts. Where will I feel the vibration? Seat? Peddle? Transfer case shifter? Just curious as I'll be trying to get everything right and hopefully have no long term problems arise from poor angles.

Yes be careful. It depends on lift height, gearing, how much caster you can run. Start around 5* and go down until there's no vibes. DS vibes are felt all over. But, steering, shifter.... All over and get worse with speed.
If you have any tire balance issues --although different-- get them taking care of before replacing the DS.
