reason i asked is that if you turning left slow on full lock it feels like its pulling the shaft out.turn right and its fine,same at speed it judders badly.
the car is lowered but not stupid low.

xr4x4 shafts are the ones you need....ever so slightly longer and therefore make up for the extra length needed for lowering.
