Ivheard this is a comon problem and folk fitt Xr4x4 wans cos ther 10mm longer. Can anyone shine sum light on this subject please? Or has anyone got a shaft 4 sale? Cheers

 

will need to check your engine mounts on your car as when these go this normally happens.

 

More common on lowered cars too, I believe?

 

No need for longer shafts IMO. Broken engine mounts will cause this or original mounts on tuned cars or if you accelerate hard from stand at full lock with broken or original mounts. Would go for uprated collins mounts, will save you hundreds of shafts and will give you straighter acceleration response. But new original ones will last another 20 years I guess.
