Good suggestion, I'll keep in mind for the future. This is already a modified driveshaft for a kswap so I'd rather not modify another one unless I have to.

I've seen the videos and agree that it kinda appears normal. I think the JXB carrier looks like a reasonable option to tighten things up.

I'm not super interested in using a 1pc driveshaft.
