Two other supporting aspects for JFP's comments:
1.When this modified driveshaft was first introduced we voiced alarm at the deliberate weakening of an already weak part. Subsequently , it seems the depth of the groove in it has been reduced to the point where it is difficult to imagine any significant amount of oil can travel along the groove. So while you are in there, why not fit an upgraded drive shaft ?
2. The oil in the IMS tube. The premium IMSB replacement product has a plug to completely seal the tube. Why would they bother with this if it was not a problem ?
I am puzzled why the RND roller bearing product does not include this seal for the IMS tube.It would have been an easily added premium feature ?
