Wait, weren't you a proponent of tapered axleshafts? ;)

I don't know the origional argument but "reduces weight" is a lame reason. How much weight could it reduce?

Kind of like a runner shaving his body to run faster :rolleyes:

ounces of rotational weight becomes important when you're being timed across a 1/4 mile.

What's the point of discussion here?

Noooooo. I believe "necked down" is the coloquialism (had to use that wurd since you use "proponant":D ) describing the style of which I am a proponant.

But, to confuse the issue - I am a "user" of tapered shafts since I had D44 shafts cut and spline for my D30 diff.....but I know it's not "right" :flipoff2:

Sorry, mostly wasting everyone's time by occasionally re hashing an old argument about whether "necking down" or in Starnge's language, "undercutting" an axle shaft makes it stronger or weaker.

Of course, it makes it stronger....due to flow of stress and all that....but DSI is a non-believer :flipoff2: :rasta:
