Do Driveshaft issues belong here? Flanges

[Tony H]

Friend has a '96 Mazda B2300.
His forward Driveshaft flange ( bolts to the Transfer Case) is humped up.
I see that the 'U' joint part numbers are the same as my '91 Explorer.
Does anyone know if the flanges are the same AND does someone have a Parts Car that will part with this flange?
No Junkyards around here have one.

The bolt pattern on his flange is 2.5" not the 3" that is on some

I have a flange that is the same as a 4x4 transmission output on a sport. I don't know about the u joint size or anything though.

What year Sport? I can look up the 'U' joint part numbers. If they are the same.. hopefully it will work.

The bolt pattern of the holes that bolt to the transfer case should be 2.5"

Some were 3".. that will not work for him.

I want to say it was a 98 :scratch: If you can give me a bit, I think I can go find it and measure.....

No big rush Evan. He's been driving the car locally with this Vibration, it can go a few days more

Please see if the bolt spacing is 2.5".

I am going to the shop this afternoon, I will find it and measure.

How is this?

EDIT: BTW, the flange is from a 97-02 F150 front driveshaft.

That looks like it. I will pass this on to my friend.
Even though the mounting looks right, He will need to check the 'U' fit. For some reason I didn't think his 'U' joint had 1" + ends on the 'U' joint.

If it all works out, What are we talking $$$?

It's OK, if you end up needing it, a few bucks for shipping and its yours.
