Hi Guys, I have never had any shaft vibes un 180k miles, even after putting the shaft in at 90 degree orientation from how it had always been. However,...
Beware...the opposite of not running on 12V happened to me. Apparently the van's PO had some fridge work done, and since this is Vangon #3 for us, I thought...

Jim- He's already got the springs. Why would he take them off just to get this information. Maybe you should contact the manufactures directly and then post...

Not sure, I buy complete, new slip yoke shafts from A1. I've got alot of miles on one of them and haven't had any issues. I can't find the link at the moment. ...
