Title: why would you have cardboard inside your propshaft ?
Post by: Baloo on August 05, 2009, 02:40:39 PM: yes you read it right :o
unless its common practice and l have missed it for the last 35 years l was suprised to find a cardboard tube stuffed up the inside of the justy propshaft ( driveshaft ?)
l cut it half to shorten it and found this up the middle
