What do you mean by "rubs?

 

[OnedayB]

well with inter and outer shaft installed and drive flange on hub with the "c clip" on the outer shaft if you push it in by hand to max out the travel it can slide in. then turn the shaft by hand it rubs on the tips of the yoke just a little bit

What do you mean by "rubs?

see how the stock shafts are rounded on the edges and the new ones are not as much ?:eeek:

Grind them smooth. I have had to grind the casting marks to get them thru the knucles before on the 44 stuff....

It may be a defect, but it'll never change, I've had to knock the corners off of every chromo shaft I've ever installed since their introduction (probably over 100). It won't affect your warranty.

It would be interesting to see how many D60 guys here have import vs. Domestic axles shafts.

I know Bobby has tested a ton of 44 shafts and the imports ranged from weaker than stock to decent. IIRC, the domestic 4340 were always the best.

Domestic for me x2.
