you can get a slip yoke installed into the drive shaft to relieve the motion during suspension cycle. theres a member on here that installed one. cant remember his id but its in the build threads. maybe someone will read this and remember who it is and post that for you

find a local driveline shop and just bring in your driveshaft.

go to a junk yard, get an excab ranger driveshaft. get the driveshaft shop to cut the end off the mazda and off the ranger shafts and weld the mazda one back on the ranger one. there excab ranger driveshaft is a slip shaft. hope this helps you.

so is the drive shift out of a 4x4 mazda, and you may not have to swap out one side
