That rubber ring is a vibration damper for the shaft...

That's not what I heard it was for...

Do I need to re-direct you to my Clunk thread? Lol! 6.2 or 5.4, doesn't matter to the clunk.

Thanks for posting those pics HR and glad to hear it's working out for ya so far.

Too tired to post anywhere else - 18 hr days and 7 more to go til I hit Myrtle Beach for the week.

Took mine in for service, axle work, fix the damn camera - and handed them the TSB for the driveshaft. Well whadya know - all you early birds got the shaft. That is, got it so fast, they're outta stock for us poor bastards up north. Oh well, whats another month or so - I can hit the trails again and wear out those needle bearings without worrying about U-joint replacement for another few weeks.

Not sure if this will work but here are the two slip yokes next to each other the new one is on the right. The old shaft part number did end in BB and new one ends in BC. Only difference i could see is the new yoke has a tighter tolerance where the splines are.

What did I miss? Is this an across the board replacement for all Raptors?
