Correct me if I am wrong, but the wheel well on the driver's side doesn't really protect the shaft and knucle at all, right?
I feel like when I squat down to put air in my tires I can see the shaft as plain as day. Maybe it's getting sprayed all day long, and then the winter and the salt.

I poped my head under the hood, did it really take 45 min to remove???? it doesn't look that hard?!?!
Would a steering brace be helpful too????

Just hit 100K on my '05, time to replace the intermediate shaft it's been clunking for a while.
Check out http://www.mopar-wholesale.com/dodge-dakota-parts $189 plus shipping for OEM from a dodge dealer!
I think I am going to get a serpentine belt and rad hoses OEM as well, cheaper than advance auto and 7 years 100K they still look good!
