I have Ashcroft CVs in a daily driver
covered 12k miles then they were removed as a part of a seal fix and the were untouched and like the day they were fitted.
I have M/D shafts/in a 97 axle with the bronze bushes.
I had AEU2522s(cheapo) and they bust far to easily even on small tyres

re phasing a standard prop is a waste of time

The Caliper Simon uses is designed to stop a huge earth mover
so stopping a 2.5T land rover won't cause it to many problems.

I've sent him the link to this thread and he'll be able to answer your ?? when he appears.

PS the X shaft works a treat and saves lots of time when you do snap a Halfshaft.
