Bent drive shaft?

Years back the only car lifts were center post. Some models tended to hit the drive shafts when the car was lifted depending on how the car was positioned.

As I can remember one of the things that was stressed , When lifting a car. Was "don't hit the drive shaft".

So it could be there is truth to both sides here. It wasn't that they produced bent shafts. They were bent on there first oil change. Who says it wasn't mostly the 111 inch wheel base darts that would hit.
