"And this one is just right" ~ Goldilocks
How many miles on that drive shaft? And, do my eyes deceive or are the splines dry, i.e no lube?
77,000. I lube the splines at every rear tire change, which is every 4,000 miles. Admittedly, I skipped the last one because I was busy with moving, so about 8,000 miles between lubes. I've read many posts where people inspecting their drive shafts are surprised at the "rust," but according to some it's actually what molly lube looks like when dried out. I dunno, so won't argue it- just what I heard. Been using a spline paste from Beemer Boneyard, but may have been going too thin. I just bought some powdered molly that I'll be mixing in with some basic molly grease and slathering it on from here on out- every 4,000 miles.
