I just found my OEM driveline in my backyard LOL
apparently the plastic got removed from the end and there is quite a bit of surface rust.
there doesn't seem to be any pitting, but what are the odds of a seal working on this, once cleaned up?
I'm thinking it's trash.

 

I think its salvageable Jason. Looks like surface rust only. Its likely those journals are not just simple mild steel but a high grade steel that resists not just wear but corrosion damage.

 

Definitely salvageable and i learned along time ago throwing away/selling evo parts at low prices just to get rid of them is a huge mistake. That looks like oxidation rust and can be clean off and made like new no problem.

 

I stuck it in storage for now. I'll run out, clean it, and cover it back up.

thanks, guys.

 

just polish it up.. should be ok..

 

Polish with scotch brite and wd40, it'll be fine.
