A Solution for Driveshaft Security: The AWD Driveshaft Safety Spacer Kit
Chris Prazen
Addressing the Challenge: Agile's Pinion Problem
With our 2023 AWD Mercedes Sprinter, we faced an unexpected hurdle. Instances occurred where the pulling force at the front differential pinion led to two driveshaft failures. While this was a concern, it also presented an opportunity to find a solution.
The Driveshaft Spacer Safety Kit: Enhancing Security
To mitigate this issue, we crafted the Driveshaft Spacer Safety Kit from high-quality 6061 billet aluminum. This kit is designed to reduce the tolerances at the front differential pinion, preventing the driveshaft from surpassing the factory retaining clip's limits.
Key Benefits of the Driveshaft Spacer Safety Kit:
Enhanced Safety: By diminishing the tolerances at the front differential pinion, the kit lowers the risk of driveshaft failure, ensuring a safer driving experience so you don’t have to limp home or even worse, find a tow truck.
Fall-Out Prevention: In the unlikely event of a factory retaining clip failure, the Driveshaft Spacer Safety Kit acts as a secondary safeguard, securing the driveshaft in place.
Durable Construction: Crafted from 6061 billet aluminum, the kit is built to withstand tough conditions, ensuring long-lasting dependability.
Simple Installation: Installing the Driveshaft Spacer Safety Kit is a straightforward process that doesn't require extensive technical knowledge. With clear instructions provided, you can have it fitted in no time.
