    Normally, Right inboard joint is the first one to cause issue but on this NSX, just normal wear on this side.

    After thoroughly washing the parts, started to inspect the Left Drive shaft components.




    As expected, due to the wrong offset, there were several unusual markings especially on the outboard joint.

    Removed the air box for the preparation.
