Finishing up the rear end rebuild and thought I was done.
However, I have a problem with worn driveshaft spline. Discovered quite a bit of "slop". Pin was not loose and hard to press out. Coupler appears good, as both end of the 6-spline fits nice on the new pinion shaft.
What to do, if anything, short of replacing the driveshaft?
Anyone repro driveshafts?
Thanks for any insight.

There is NO way I'd run that shaft. It certainly is not going to "get better" and will as a matter of fact get more rapidly than in the past. Nope, this is a failure in the (near) future just waiting to happen.
For the cost of replacing ii and the labor involve
now vs. later... swap it NOW.
I don't believe anyone repops these shafts. However, good (condition) original shafts are fairly readily available.
