The lopey neck covering the shaft next to the primaries seems to be whats hitting it, during turns/hard acceleration.

I appreciate everyones help. I'll see what I can do.

I had the same problem with my Gibson shorties. I loosened the gear box and shifted it a little, then did a wheel alignment...problem solved, no more banging. The intermediate shaft actually rotates straighter than it did originally when turning the steering wheel.
