I'm not a big fan of the torque tube setup, so I started thinking on how I can eliminate any potential okie bushing repairs.
Is it possible to cut the driveshaft and install a solid cap or weld it shut then reattach the ends so if the bushing goes bad there's no leak? It will have the socket and ball at the end of the transmission tail, just sealed up after the area of the cross member.
I'm totally thinking outside the box and wondering if this would work and function as it should.
