Dave, I believe in part, that it has to do with reducing vibration transmitted from the driveline back through the chassis and body. NVH ?
Same reason the d2a front propshaft doesn't have a spline join, but a series of roller balls (like in a bearing) set into one end of the "spline" area, which run inside a "race" in the end of the other shaft half. Apparently the splined joins had a tendency to bind slightly under acceleration, again, transmitting noise and vibration into the cab.
Personally, since fitting the TW front shaft, I have noticed no increase in noise or vibration ... In fact probably a bit less vibration, but the DC join in the old front shaft did have a bit of play and slop in it.
... And new nuts and bolts were sourced overnight from Karcraft in Sydney.

I now have wood also. Went to Melb today and came home with a nice shiny new well greased black shaft. Also picked up a pair of Fyrlyts while I was there.
Dave, where did you get the shaft from, and how much please? Were they a stock item?Quote:
