Re: [Chrysler300] Driveshaft "clunk" on 1957 300C

That is exactly right . But balance issues with getting that pin perfect if you disassemble that far , seems to often , in my experience, leave a residual vibration in the 70 mph area right where you drive it . I have never been really happy with those joints. Why I think converting to spicer with slide in the shaft itself is just better use of time and $ in the long run . Aggravating to go all through messing with it ( time =$) and the $ too  only to have a vibration at the end of all of it   . Probably same net out of pocket for whole new Denny’s shaft with high speed balance too , and 1/100 the mental aggravation .

It's not so much the "clunk" as it is a vibration during low speed acceleration and again at highway speeds.  In more advanced wear condition the "clunk" becomes a bigger issue.  I'm presently running my '55 with a 3/16" spacer between the transmission output hub and the u-joint housing.  Having that spacer in place forces the balls to roll through an unworn range on the cylinder surface in the housing and vibration is completely eliminated.  Mine's not worn enough to cause a clunk. I have a new unit to install and that will happen before very long.
