fit new shaft yesterday as my original one broke the inner cv joint, was told was a common fault so replaced with a new one 10 mins down road it has done the same again

could this be the diff???

any replys much appreciated[/b]

 

Check your engine mounts mate, my mates Saph 4x4 did this a few time's before he realised

 

how low is the car?

 

If the car is too low with the standard CV joint the shaft will distroy it within miles...

GGR doing a 50% longer CV joint so it won't fall out...BTW it ain't cheap but mine is still ok after 5 years

 

Deffo check engine mounts

Had this prob on my old 4x4,the mounts look ok untill you jack up the engine
Mine just split into 2 pieces,both mounts

But as said above,if car is too low you will need longer shafts

 

Mounts defo mine did exactly the same buy yourself vibra-tenics cosworth mounts and xr4x4 shafts because they are longer

 

have you bought a ringer lol

 

Cheers fellas.

I've had a look and it looks like the original shaft had already been swapped for an xr4x4 so i've sorted that with another 4x4 shaft, as for the mounts i haven't had chance to look yet so its stayin put till i've checked, what is it that i should look for.

 

Trolley jack under sump,jack it up slowly and watch the engine mounts split into two pieces

Obviously if it starts to lift the car up when your jacking up the sump the mounts are ok,but I doubt it
