Hi All,
Took out the driveshaft yesterday and I have what appears to be great splines both sides. It was well lubed.
However.....
I have slight notchiness directly in the middle of the swing in both axis'.
Is any notchiness a deal breaker and a call for replacement?
Does this picture indicate anything?
Thanks.
