Can someone can share a picture of their front drive shaft?
Last night I was replacing some exhaust gaskets and fixing leaks when I noticed some concerning marks on my front shaft. Luckily the rig is part time but I need to get this sorted out.
Apparently I need longer drop links on my sway bar because the drive shaft rubs on the sway bar.
I have never felt or heard anything when wheeling but from the photo it is definitely happening.
The weird thing is the top of the sway bar is not worn down to shiny metal like the shaft.
I am not sure if I have just rubbed it enough to expose fresh metal or if I have actually formed a groove in the shaft.
In the photo my finger is on a ridge with a groove on either side, are these grooves original or caused by rubbing my shaft too much
I am going to order a longer drop kit for the sway bar and I want to know if I also need a new front shaft or if the damage is superficial.
Thanks
