Front driveshaft rubbing on gearbox crossmember

[mudnut]

Righto, so its 38 Deg C so perfect temperature to swap out the front drive shaft! Anyway, 20 mins turn around, including the clean up and paint of the 60mm scored section. Still waiting on the chop infill piece for the cross member.Attachment 88438

Sorry to be a negative bugger, but the tail shaft is case hardened. That might be a weak point now.

Craig, fair point but I would doubt there was much sustained heat, more abrasion over a 3000klm period at times. I put a vernier over the tailshaft unaffected and affected and its less the 0.005" loss of diameter - not much from a torsion perspective, but I will remember your words in the future if it lets go!
