RUBBING DRIVESHAFT?!

[D Laf]

i have a used 95 gt and anytime that i carry any extra weight (i.e. A...yes.1. person :tickedoff my driveshaft rubs on the e-brake cable bracket thingamabobber. i do not belive that it was lowered any. at least it doesnt look lowered, but i also have no idea what the last owner may have taken out. so if theres anything you can think of to check for let me know please.

its an aluminum driveshaft isnt it?

mine does that, had to grind the bracket on the ebrake down to keep it from doing so.

yeah its aluminum. thats the same thing my stepdad said to do. you had to drop the shaft huh?

 

[smasher41]

nope, with the car on the lift at work ( unloaded suspension) the axle lowered enough to get a grinder in there.
otherwise, yeah you would prob need to drop it.

i had some problem but my car is lowered. i grinded down the lip thingy for the ebrake when i did my t56 swap. i needed a new driveshaft though cause i had a deep ring in my shaft. i was afraid of it snapping so i just got a new FRPP one
