Default Propshaft

Hi ya.

The propshaft on my-64 GP is vibrating quit a bit. Changed all the joints on both ends and checked tires and all but still nearly the same. I think the rubber "thing" inside it is not perfect anymore. Will I do any harm for rear diff or gearbox, if I make a new propshaft without this kind off rubber?? Just straight steel prop and that's it!

Cheers

Mikko

It works great.

Every other driveshaft in the world doesn't have the rubber inside and works fine.

Somebody in the '63/64 B car driveline group was a little overzealous for some reason.
