Can someone please explain why the "small" Triumph sedans, the Dolomite in
particular, had a 2-piece tail shaft? I haven't been able to determine why
the engineers went to all the expense of having a center bearing and an
additional 2 uni joints (or CV joints in the case of the Sprint). I have a
bit of a vibration in reverse that replacing unis and centre bearing have
not eliminated and was considering fabricating a one piece tail shaft as the
solution. I would welcome any thoughts on this issue - will a one piece
shaft work? Will it eliminate the vibration? etc. TIA.
