Inner race of bearing spins on shaft. Loctite is Not the solution. Wow was a bugger to get bearing off. Boosted Nytro helped and kept me from getting the torch out. Some small peens and regular inspection are all that's needed the Loctite is overkill trust me.

Please elaborate more. Is my 2014 spinning too? With less than 2000 miles, I haven't dug that far down yet.

Yes it probably is. I think my original shaft only spun a little since I maintain that bearing religiously. Every spring clean and regrease the bearing. But yet was still evidence of it spinning. All I have seen show this and by 3000mi it will have worn the driveshaft a lot. My RR with 3500 mi required some weld to fix properly. Its in FAQ

I have 2300 on mine and just pulled the shafts to swap the track.

Mine had no signs of spinning at all. Still not a bad idea to check tho. Besides that bearing seems to be a magnet for belt dust. Mine was nasty looking.
