I will. I'm handicap so unable to do myself. I wish I could do it myself, because I never really happy when someone else does stuff to the XK. But life is life. Besides the mud stains I had from my last outing & the fact that it is the main car for my wife & I with a 3 month old & 3 yro it got really DIRTY it was bugging me a lot
Well the last of the shopping spree has arrived, picked up the new rear driveshaft yesterday.

Machined adaptor plate to the transfer case, 1350 equipped double cardon, enclosed slip joint, and a 1410 uni for the differential end.

No more staked unis as per factory, and cheaper than a factory Jeep replacement as well.
That should fix it :D
Now to head to the shed and fit it!!!
Did you save any weight with the new one?
That is awesome! Where did you have that made? Any chance of getting another one made and sent this way??
If by save you mean quadruple the weight Sal, then yes! It's heavy, built for crawling, the Uni's are usually used on trucks, so they should last. Factory shaft is aluminum, this is 1/4" steel :O!!
You could ship one but I would hate to see the cost! There was a bloke who got one made in the states, it's was just a straight non-cardon style, but was under 500 bucks.

Driveline Services Australia made it up, came out to home and checked flanges and clearances.

I think i "need" one. starting to get some vibes under acceleration and my front shaft has been puking grease for a while now. So its either rebuild or replace time.
