Graham Goode supplies a direct replacement front drive shaft, don't know about the strength of them, front drive shafts shouldn't be a problem as long as everything else on the front of the car is up to scratch bushes, engine mounts and the like

avoid standing on the power when the steering is on lock also helps to stop the front shafts from popping out

they are probably XR4x4 shafts, a touch longer than a 4x4 Cosworth item I believe from GGR. and std shafts are good for 500 bhp anyway arent they
