Just wondering if anybody has ran into any rubbing problems with the FMS aluminum driveshaft? I have one I am gonna install this weekend, and wanted to know if there was anything to look out for? I did a search and the only complaints I could find were from a few SN95 guys with lowered cars. Mine is a stock non lowered fox.

I have an '88 Coupe that the previous owner converted to rear disc brakses. Since I installed the FMS driveshaft, whenever I have more than one person in the car the bracket where the e-brake cable meets the rear brake cable "pings" off the driveshaft when I hit a bump. So far no one has been able to help me figure out how to cure it. PS, the bracket is not mounted to the body of the car, it just kind of stays up by the tension.

mine rubs slightly on the rear brake cable, but just enough to polish it to a brilliant shine

Glad to hear there shouldn't be any problems with it fitting. I don't see any grease fittings on the u-joints with the new shaft are they pre-gresed with sealed bearings? And should I put some sort of grease on the splines that slide into the tranny?

Mine was lowered and had a read disk conversion and I didn't have any problems with it running.
