Hey guys,

I've noticed everything the previous owner mentioned he replaced or fixed has been full of issues.
the rotoflex on the bottom of the rear d-shaft. He mentioned he replaced it, it looks pretty new, but I don't see any arrows.

Which direction is it supposed to be mounted? the fat lobes are supposed to be in compression or tension under forward driving?

 

No arrows normally means that is a cheap-o rotoflex and not a quality GKN.

But forget the arrows, so either way just install the bolts/nuts correctly like in the pic below.

 

thanks, aha. so fat in compression.
As expected, mine is backwards. I will be flipping it around.

 

So fat in compression? Dude, what you do in your spare time is your business, you don't have to share it with the world wide web.

 

I wouldn't pay for the arrows cuz it's only common sense that the shoulder goes through the bushed rubbah with the lock washer against the steel flange. That's an uh duh sort of simple midget minded thing. The whole rotisserie-flex is a backassward thing to begin with, use a common u-joint cuz it's not gonna negate the driveline "clunk" no matter what you throw at the pinion flange.

 

turns out if you look for the arrows they do exist.
And also the PO definitely had it in wrong as expected. (and bolts in, all 6 facing the same direction)
thanks for the help!
