.....The slip joint is located at the rear of the shaft. They explained that's where the most movement is in the drive line so placement at the rear reduces the stress on tailshafts. Many driveshafts will show the slip joint forward, but this idea has been changed. Myself as well as others here have had cracked tailshafts over time.

The sliding spline becomes the heaviest part of the driveshaft and it's a fair bit of extra weight compared to a universal joint and associated parts of a normal fitment.

This weight is then bouncing up and down, with impact loads adding to the stresses. This is all feeding those loads onto the smallest bearing in the whole assembly, the front pinion bearing.

I just cannot see their logic in making this claim.
