Neapco's no fittings. It feels heavier like theres another tube inside, more pronounced when I just shake it... kinda wobbles inside ..but not a metal clanking but a solid deep thumping wobble.
I did find one real bad u-joint on it that would make noise but this wobble i havent heard or couldnt hear on the road, it might not make any noise when its turning due to its deep sounding thumping noise when shaken by hand.

Im gonna take off the other side and see what its like.
