i have had the 2 piece shafts in mine for 8000 road miles and a few trail rides in there and i love them. had a little grease puke out at the very beginning, but after that they have been awesome!!

Id like to hear what they say on that myself. Ive been scratching my head. But folks running Adams and Tom Wood drive shafts apparently report vibration issues also. It seems as though its a crap shoot some do and some don't. Having these RCVs in a JKUR did not cause vibrations or issues of any kind. Why now with this D 44?I need to touch base with Ricky at RCV...Interesting that their tech group recommended 2pc.
I'll sat again that it is hard for me to understand how there would be more harmonic with 1 rather than 2pcs. It is a precision turned part...the runout must be next to nothing. The only cause of harmonic in that shaft would be runout.

Did you have any trouble seating the inner section of passenger side, or any issues on install for that matter?i have had the 2 piece shafts in mine for 8000 road miles and a few trail rides in there and i love them. had a little grease puke out at the very beginning, but after that they have been awesome!!
I know you weren’t asking me, but the two piece install was pretty easy and straight forward. Hardest part of the install was seating the RCV axle tube seals and seating the CV boots, and that wasn’t too bad.Did you have any trouble seating the inner section of passenger side, or any issues on install for that matter?
I've stabbed them into a JKUR with no issues and the videos seem like a no brainer but you know how it is. I thought I would ask folks here.I know you weren’t asking me, but the two piece install was pretty easy and straight forward.

I used a heat gun and zip tie trick. There is no way I was strong to slam the boots on there. That was the hardest part for me.I know you weren’t asking me, but the two piece install was pretty easy and straight forward.

WD 40 is supposed to help as well.I used a heat gun and zip tie trick. There is no way I was strong to slam the boots on there. That was the hardest part for me.
no issues i can report, but i didnt do the install. i had my boy slide them in when he did the gears.Did you have any trouble seating the inner section of passenger side, or any issues on install for that matter?
This is weird. Wonder what the root cause is, as the JK’s rah a lot of castor as well.Update - Front adams Shaft re-balanced & I dialed down my caster to 4.9 left & 4.7 right. Still having vibrations. Im pretty sure its my pinion angle and i don't want to dial down more caster(before was 5.9 & 5.6 caster) Going back to 2pc fad.
