Default Tripod joint

Tell me everything. Looks like it might be a substitute for a CV.

It all depends on plunge, i ran tripods off a cavalier, and they were the least of my worries...Id look into the ford f 150 hubs and cvs, they are a match to 930 axle splines, so the axles can be bought easily...Whiplash has the info on them...

Yeah the (Factory) ones for the 2000-2003 F150 are a plunging NON Tripod but have VERY good angularity, in the range os 35+ degrees and are strong enough for a 6000lb truck with 300HP AND a granny gear!!So it should be strong! I am finally getting back to my build so I will have more up on the thread soon!
