What do you think?The one the right is part of the original shaft Edited 12/09/08 02:37 PM by GreenXR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be possible to buy a set of these shafts and take them to a machine shop or the like and get them heat treated properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they did forget.No Frank, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of heat treating.Here is a pic of the other end and a full view of the inner cv. The heat treatment can be seen on the outer spline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we can heat treat them it may be a kind of silver bullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
