That's a pretty common (teflon-like?) material on splined slip joints used
in driveshafts these days, Joe.  It's supposed to make a closer fit,
smoother sliding, less "rattle".  I'm not familiar with the "history" of
this material, so I can't say whether its presence is an indicator that the
shaft has been replaced or not.
