That being said, the picture you just posted doesn't look like it was caused by any spline problem to me. It looks like a bad weld joint. Unless I'm missing something and the parts in the picture are the replacement parts?
The pic I posted was after I cut off the spline in preparation for the new parts arrival. Look close at the splines, you can see the difference of how they are flat/gone on the end and more defined closer to the cut.See attached pic. Hopefully self explanatory
