this is a Ford driveshaft, on the transmission output yoke is a balancer ring. Just like a crankshaft harmonic balancer, when the rubber is all dryrotted and cracked it can cause more harm than good.... as part of a drivetrain "upgrade" I decided to replace Ujoints and to get rid of this ring.

.
even though the rubber appeared to be cracked all the way the ring was not easy to remove - it resisted but at the end: I win

test drove it today: much smoother, less vibration......
