I have a 1350 yoke on my diff and a split joint that’s solid. When the shaft gets replaced it will be all 1350.

The nice thing is both the 741 $ 742 use shims to set bearing preload... So you can swap the yoke without effecting the bearing preload... 7290/1330/1350 all are an easy swap...
489 uses a crush sleeve so swapping the yoke can be a problem... To do it right you need to disassemble the axle unless someone has swapped out the crush sleeve for a crush sleeve eliminator...

That's why I asked which housing he had.

when i had to replace the driveshaft in my charger because it was bent, i had action machine make me one according to their experience and recommendations.
i specifically requested 1350 joints and forged yolks. the reason being, i beat this car every time i take it out, so doing this just eliminates one less thing to break.
also, it has the 10 spline yoke on the rear, and i have several 10 spline rears on the shelf in case i need one, or decide to change ratios. there are 3.91's in there now, and when i switch to an A518, i will more than likely swap over to a 4.30 or 4.56 gear. [i realize the shaft will need shortened, although a good friend of mine says he wants the shaft i have now.] at that time, i will have them make up a new one.
as the length of the stock shaft was "above the critical speed limit", it was suggested by them i get a 3 1/2" diameter shaft.
a very quality shaft indeed, the vibration is now gone [they spin all there shafts at the highest rpm i have seen by any shaft company], and there are no clearance problems anywhere, even with my 2x1/4" thick bolt in [now welded to the floor pan, 2x2x1/8" subframe connectors, seat mounts [which are also welded to the floor pan and extended to the subframe connectors as well as the outer seat brackets welded to the floor and connected to the inner seat brackets which are then extended to the subframe connectors and having the outer brackets extending to the rockers as well] extended to the rockers with 1 1/2x2x1/8" rectangular tube.
those mods tightened up the car considerably, and the improvement are drastic in the way the car handles. [next mod is a hollow 1 3/8" front bar. after that is done, i will more than likely install a 7/8" rear bar. as the car is far from being factory correct, i will weigh both of these bars and see where i can reduce weight by at LEAST the amount added, if not more.]
