I have picked up some 1.5 Drive shafts and started rebuilding them.
They were pretty gummed up with thread lock, which restricted the joint (barrel) considerably (it took a lot of force to straighten them). I have read that a lot of thread lock was common due to original issues of pins getting thrown. I would imagine that if I had installed this, as it was, into another Durango, (considering the angles going into the input shaft,) this would cause a lot of stress on the input shaft and in turn the gearbox and bevel. The gearbox housing would weaken and result in the above more rapidly each time.
Just a thought?
