Not that I can tell so far but I’ve barely driven the car since the install.

With the “new” bearing, U joints and new fluids everything feels very smooth but I will going to the track this Friday where I’ll get to ring her out and attempt to feel the difference. Will update once I know more.

So after putting on a few hundred miles & a track day I notice a slight improvement in peppiness but nothing major to write home about. I bought mine for $130 so I think it’s worth doing if you already have a lot of miles on your original/current driveshaft.

I did notice a slight increase in mpg but this could be due to the fluid swap. The replacement of the U joint with a CV joint also seems to be make things respond more quickly.
