Default front drive shaft problem

This past weekend I did some moderate wheeling. Yesterday I took the jeep in for a gear swap, and while it was up on the rack I noticed a worn ring on my Tom Woods 1310 front drive shaft. It looks like it is striking the same location as the stock drive shaft was. Is there a way to remedy this problem for good, or is it a minor thing not to worry about?

Thanks!

being that you're running 37's, is it safe to assume you have an adjustable front track bar? if so, are you sure your axle is centered? if not, that would explain what you are seeing.

Thanks for the reply WOL. No, I do not have an adjustable track bar, I simply installed the Currie track bar relocation bracket. Once I get it all back together from the gear swap, I will check to see if the axle is centered.

Thanks again!
