    EN9 is about the closest.

    Both.

    You then end up trashing your drive flanges which have no elastic limits
    at all. The side/half shafts can at least twist a little to absorb
    torque. In fact the ideal would be to have them be able to twist even
    more (without testing their elastic limits).
