Tatton Driveshafts
Hi,
I replaced front and rear driveshafts (complete with yokes) last year. No problems.
There wasn't a huge difference in price between Tatton, Coast , JE Reel, or Tom Woods. I liked dealing direct with Curtis Tatton. Removing the pinion nut, and the debate about nut torque / gear pre-load was almost enough to make me shy away from replacing the yokes. The gears are being replaced as I write this message, so the new install (newly crushed sleeve on each diff) should eliminate all doubts.
I have had no vibration issues.
