If you buy a rotoflex with the full hardware kit, the center bushing usually comes with it. See the photo in the link above.
Thank You!!!!
Ironically I already purchased the rubber coupling kit from AB and received it in the mail. Just did not know what each part in the kit was called. I even called AB again to inquire about any centering kit on the rear propshaft and they were clueless. Thank you so much Jafir. I think it would have helped if I specified the rear propshaft to. Im not concerned about the front because I already ordered one from Justin and it should arrive on my door tomorrow.

Thanks again all.

How does that old proverb go, "Give a man a link and he will repair his Rover for a day, teach a man to use Search and he will repair his Rover for a lifetime."

Back to the topic at hand: Just received Justins propshaft in the mail. Ordered an extra set of ny-lock nuts for the rear shaft. On first impression it looks well built and greased considerably (which is good in my book). Looks to have 5 grease nipples, although the nipple on the shaft itself looks either smashed or just a different type of grease fitting (not really sure). So far no complaints and if weather permits this weekend I will install it on my truck.

Below is the nipple that looks either broken or like a different type of grease fitting.

Below I moved the double carden section as close to the grease fittings as possible to ensure that the nipples where not at risk of being crushed when the shaft moves around. There is enough clearance that the nipples are free of any contact with the enclosing sections of the carden.

Below is the recessed grease fitting. I'm gonna buy the needle grease gun tip this coming week from autozone so I can reach this fitting in the future

Make sure the nuts are the right thread. I'm having a hell of a time dealing with them over that.

Like I said I have not installed the shaft yet but I did screw one nut onto the stud and it fit just fine.

Did you take the rubber cover off the grease fitting on the shaft, or are you thinking that's what it looks like?

Next time maybe resize your photos so they aren't so huge and require right-left scrolling, and preferably take them in focus.

Could be the system you are using or your web browser is out of date. I dont have any problems viewing the photos on my labtop and dont have any scroll bars. The camera on the other hand is just a cheap phone and its the only camera I got at the moment. My digital cam **** the bed....

I'm using the latest version of firefox and all my adobe products are up to date (flash, shockwave, air, reader) as is my java.
