"New shaft" could be a new Rover shaft, or it could be a new third-party greaseable one. Hope you got the latter.

I bought an aftermarket, greaseable shaft. No more shaking or squeaking.

I got a new heated windshield....I was surprised at how reasonable the price was ($390, installed). Now when driving into the sun I can still see! mike

Hey, if the Ultragauge let's set a custom color via RGB mixing, can you share what your final values are? I've been trying to get my radio display to have the same shade of green as the other instruments, but can seem to get it just right....thanks, M

I replaced the driveshaft myself, which turned out to be pretty simple and due to the ground clearance I didn't even have to lift it. Now I'm planning to rebuild the stock shaft to have as a back up or sell. If you have any questions about the procedure, feel free to ask.

Nicely done!

Replaced the really bad Watts link with a good used one tonight. I may replace with panhard later but this will do.
Next up is rust repair patch in rear frame in pass side at hoop. Then clean framer and seal with chassis saver.
Picking up a Oslo Blue hood and fender Saturday to replace my clear coat damage. Can't wait!
