I just replaced my passenger side rear shaft last night because it
was twisted pretty bad at the splines.  I broke the drivers side 2
or 3 weeks ago twisting of the splines.  I think with a 44, you have
to expect to replace shafts once in a while, but it still ends up being
much cheaper than a 60.  I traded some junk tonight for a fresh set of
spare shafts.  Those shafts lasted a year of amazing abuse.
