Kraton Has anyone out there tried the GPM CVD driveshafts?

[NeverDun]

Need to replace mine, and I'm curious if anyone has tested the quality of these. Thanks!

If it was my money I would get stock or MIP.

OK, thanks!

Did you mean GPM?

Why do you need to replace them? Are they warped or are the pins worn?

The pins can be replaced by mugen pins

Oops! I did mean GPM, Thanks. Yeah, I bought my Kraton used, and all of the dog bones and cups are really worn. The more worn they get the harder it is on everything, because you get big shock loads on the whole drivetrain. I was mostly curios if they were possibly made from a higher grade steel, or heat treated to a higher hardness to reduce wear. I'd also like to find boots that would fit this stuff, because it would be nice to grease them and keep them covered. They would last much longer that way. I haven't seen any for Aarma 6s models, but it seems like maybe another company's boots might fit.

I looked at some boots for my kraton but they won't fit. The arms are too close to the cups.

I ordered the dbxle boots which looks very nice but are now gathering dust.

Gathering dust on your shelf, or in your truck??
I did notice the wheel side cup has no retaining lip for a boot like you said, but the rest of them should work. Do the front CVDs fit on the back?

On the shelf, they don't fit because too little room between cup and arm.

Front cvd can be used in the back

I bought the mugen pins and just replace the worn pins on my shafts

Oh, now I feel dumb! I didn't even think about just replacing the pins. I figured they were permanently installed. Thanks!
