hi all i have just picked up my new saff 4x4 today and was loving it ...Until this evening i launched it and the front drivers side shaft popped out of the gearbox,as im not oversure is this an easy fix and will it pop back in or could it be a real nightmare any help is much appreciated.

 

get some decent engines mounts and it wont happen again

The shaft should just pop back in the diff....

 

Has it come out of the diff' or has the inner cv come apart? if its come out the diff then take the diff' cover plate off the bottom and make sure the circlip isnt rattling round in the diff somewhere!

all i can see is a 3 knuckle joint on the end of the shaft which is still fully connected to the wheel ?

 

every 4x4 i had done it but i got collins mounts on the latest 4x4

 

yeah the cv joint has snapped

need to take diff cover off and get circlip out as mentioned

new cv joint now mate

new engine mounts as sounds like the driver side has gone soft due to heast of the manifold

 

thanks for all the posts that have been made, theyve been a real help
for me to beable to get started on this problem.

 

 

sometimes if driven after can damage the alloy cradle, so check that aswell to make sure
