Re: XR drive

It depends on the input shaft ujoints. The new gimble bearing is offset by .050" and the trim limit spacers keep the drive from tilting too far when the old style large ujoints are in the shaft. I have not tried it with the new shafts, but the joints are smaller... So I would not go without the spacers until someone measures the clearance.

Hope this helps..
