Looks good! :o :o :o How far can those shafts slide in and out of each other?

About 6" total spline length but haven't really checked. I've got zero plunge needed but ifg I want to mess with alignment I can . also if there's any deflection or maybe something gets bent I wanted some plunge since these cv's are non plunging.  Hence the slip shaft axles.

The slip tube has an internal seal that should keep grease where it belongs. The OD of the inner slip tube has some plastic type wear surface on it that appears to be one of the very wear resistant types. The seal is quite a good seal as the tube is a bit tough, but not difficult in the least, to plunge due to suction/pressure. If they are used in a long plunge application I'd think some bleed would be needed. Maybe not. If there's no issue with durability I will be quite pleased to have these instead of a solid axle. I see no reason,at this point, for there to be any issues.

Ok welders. Which weld,IN YOUR OPINION is best? The one on the left or on the right? One is hand and the other machine. Know which is which?

Yeah that blue coating is a pretty tough anti-friction coating. Seen lots of truck driveshafts where basically everything is kaput except for the blue coating!

I like the one on the right, and I think the one on the left is hand welded.

for some reason i was thinking they were building them with the ballbearing slides ( like k-fabs)  instead of spline on spline!  they do look nice and I hope they hold up especially all that wait!!!

just curious, is it best to have the slip in the middle of the axle or close to one end?

With zero ,or near zero, plunge I see no need for ball splines. Personally I think that any design that plunges so much a person thinks they need ball splines should redesign the suspension geometry. I think it makes very little difference where the slip is . The amount of slop that will develop with large plunge numbers due to spline wear would concern me on any axle.

I kind of like the idea of the ball spline but so far what I have seen they need more r&d!  did they atleast balance them?

IMO a ball spline is just a bandaid for bad design.

fabbr if when you get a chance would you weigh one axle? I'm curious what they weigh.
