Something is scrapping the driveshaft!

Well, I know what is hitting it, had lots of bags of soil, mulch, that sort of thing in the bed, on way home from wmart, when hitting a drop in the road, or bump, I could hear the scrape. Why is this hitting, can I cut a space in this stupid rivited on box? And why is it rivited, and not simple bolts?

Looks like a bracket for a bearing on a two piece driveshaft.  If so grind the rivets off and pull the bracket

Scott91370:
I agree, it does look like it would be a carrier bearing mount.  If you're never going back to a 2 piece drive shaft, just cut the entire mount out.

philo_beddoe:
Yup, so far that’s the plan. Thanks

philo_beddoe:
Well I unriveted that useless box, gone! Cleaned the area and painted. Looks like it was never there. Will add pic when I get a chance.
