U know which pin I'm referring to right?
If u have a black metal driveshaft, its usually the chrome pin at both ends of the joints.

Im asuming your not.talking about the allen head set screw is it a cheap drive shaft or someth8ng higher end like the mip uses a allen head set screw hidden inside.the joint to keep the pin from coming out cheaper modles use a spring or a wire wraped around the outside to hold the pin but it never dose on my mip shafts i locktight the little pin and the set screw in my cheap shafts i use jb weld around the outside so the pin cant come out i fill the space the spring takes up alit5le black paint and it.looks factory and i havent had one fail since if you ever need to remove it just heat it up and it will pull away from the metal enuff to get it off and repair the pin you could always fab up a coller like on the cvd shafts use and a little bit of goo to hold it.in place ive also used thread and supper glue to h9ld the pin the thread and super.glue.kinda fo4m a fiberglass type of material but its kinda brittle so if the joint hits the rocks the super glue will crack up and let the pin drop out ive seen people use rubber hose tape hose clamps lol zip ties tie wire stainless seising wire on my newest build i bought little rubber boots im gona install over that area for 2 reasons 1 to hold the pin and 2 to hold greese in the joint but i dont know how.well its gona work yet im worried the boots will tear on the rocks but only.trying it will tell
