Howdy Bubba, I just purchased their CV joint assembly for my CSC CobraXL driveshaft. It replaced the rubber joint that CSC uses to attach the driveshaft to the rear-end. I wasn't comfortable with CSC's suggestion to weld the driveshaft to cure the spline stripping problem. After the welding you're not able to remove the driveshaft without pulling the rear-end assembly back or removing the engine. I didn't think that was a well thought out fix. Just my opinion. I contacted Stan and Nancy of Mtn Trikes and they forwarded pictures of their CV joint and referred me to another buyer of their remedy. I contacted Ken on the Lonestar trikes website and we've e mailed back and forth and I decided to order the Mtn. Trike alternative to the welding of the driveline. Which I believe might crystalize the components and result in a total failure of the driveshaft. You didn't say what component you were thinking of purchasing but I think you'll like dealing with Stan and Nancy and I'm just a consumer and don't have any affiliation with Mtn. Trikes. In my opinion this is what CSC should have developed for their fix rather than welding. Regards, Alan Sisters, Oregon
