I didnt fit i payed someone too but being as its intermediate bearing side adam then no as sometimes the bearing is tight in the housing so a little force is required

Not aiming to worry just informing its pretty obvious now ive looked and tbh and ill pic some pics up
Just worth looking before you attempt to fit

Chris is coming to have a look himself and is taking it very seriously but im informing others to be aware and check yours before fitting

Ill add pics later and ill add what chris says

Chris did mention on the phone yesterday that he had a driveshaft failure of a single spline.

He said that he's going to the factory there made and have a meeting about it.

This is the only failure of the shafts that hes heard about, and thats inc that he uses these shafts in a rally car as does colin.
Also Chris has sold these shafts to the worldwide market inc spain, france etc not just the uk.

I personally would not be put off by it, although I know it's a shitter if it did happen. I think it's just a 1 in a million manufacture defect.

Yeah sometimes there bar stewards to get out and need prizing out. Not knocking the person who fitted them at all, but maybe the slines weren't lined up with the diff ones when/if knocked in. Just a thought

Deffo not mialigned can clearly see the one shaft that was fine is chamfered on the end the one that stuck isnt so looks to have been missed during prodction (im a machinst making things like this and it does sometimes happen)
