I've heard this was necessary when installing the Fall-Line/VAC one as well...ill check to see if this one requires a similar installation method. I mean eliminating the factory center support bearing removes some of the 'flexing' capability during installation...so this really wouldn't surprise me, but I'll ask anyway.

One member stated that it was impossible to separate the driveshaft from the rear differential and CF driveshaft joint had to be removed and cut off. There are more threads like this, I just don't have the time to search right now. The Fall Line/ VAC is not supposed to have this problem. |

The original (ACT? something like that) had no flanges to remove it from the diff and no expansion/compression area.
The Fall line/VAC had vibration/failure issues at speed. ... hopefully third time lucky on CF drive shafts! I'd love to get a good one that wasn't hugely compromised in one way or another!

I agree with you, honestly it is only matter of time before we finally get one that works. |

Vibrations over 100mph are a big no no, especially as some here frequently go to Mexico to let the cars run! Hopefully this will be the ticket Stash
