    Yeah, wasn't sure what all the damage was so was just seeing what was out there but it'll be fixed so no point in paying for a new one.
    Funny thing is, it was parked off the road, right up against the house, and up on a curb.

    Do you lose any clearance with a one piece? I think someone in the first gen thread said something along those lines.

    Awesome, and you're happy with them? Are they aluminum or steel?

    So what's the benefit of a solid drive shaft over a 2 piece? More durable?
