yes, it's aluminium. the chart at bursons should have what it is exactly. EA/EB = Steel, ED/AU = Aluminum.

thanks for the replies,
well i went back to bursons and they showed me their 'chart' and it says from EA to EB are steel, and from ED to AU are aluminium, unless they've been changed since stock. I think i'm 100% sure mine is aluminium now, i just didn't want to pull the whole tailshaft out to find it doesn't fit. :P The difference between the two universal joints, is.... the uni joint that fits the steel ones are much thicker than the ones that fit the aluminium tailshaft. thanks again :*) |

hmm i think no matter what eb1 eb2 or whatever... i think ea to eb are the same... so i don't think eb2 would be the same as ed... could be wrong, but i'm just going by the chart
