Drive shaft safety loop rubbing
so yesterday on the dyno the straps did something and gave my drive shaft almost no clearance on the top end of the loop and was hitting as they started spinning the wheels. we lifted it up and noticed evidence on slight rubbing from regular driving. it really only needs an 1/8th of an inch more clearance so i tried to use a floor jack under it to bend it up a little but the piece is so solid it just lifted up my car and didnt bend it . Any ideas how to bend it or something to give it enough clearance on the top? there is at least an inch clearance on the bottom of the loop

yeah on the road it doesnt seem to be to big of a problem but i guess the straps pulling it down on the dyno caused some serious hitting noise

well i cant get on the dyno with it doing that.. and i can hear very slight rubbing in sixth gear while on the road so i dont think any rubbing of the driveshaft should be brushed off
