i have a 4x4 and was warned of this happening....
solution is to use d/shafts out of sierra xr4x4 2.9
check with someone else tho, first

hope this helps

also, you may need new engine mounts. if there sloppy then it won't help.

Spacers under the driveshaft in the wheel hub help.

I had this problem on a 4x4 saff, it was the n/s/f that used to come out. Renewed my engine mounts & it cured the problem.

Yep, xr4x4 shafts work

cosbot

I was told to replace my mounts to prevent it on my lowered 4x4. I never had any problems after that.

2.9 xr4x4 thats what im using and mines the same decked on coilovers and 17s and im not raising mine either changed my mounts to vibratechnics as well just to be on the safe side
paid about 70 to 80 quid for each shaft from a driveshaft specialist

Moonstone Cossie

had same probs on mine looked at engine mounts both were fucked replaced them with vibratechnics ones fitted new shafts job sorted not a problem.

it must handle like a dream

Its a shame most don't realise lowering a 4x4 Saph on it arse totally ruins the handling.

Oh yeah replace your engine mounts and fit new shafts that will solve it but the CV joints will keep on breaking if the car is driven proper hard

do not replace the shafts with longer ones as this will cause more problems
for the Ł300 that ggr charge for the longer shaft you can get a pair of adjustable tcas to bring the wheels back in correcting the camber & saving wear on the tyres plus a pair of uprated engine mounts to stop the engine from moving.
i had the longer drive shafts fitted to mine & they were ok until I wanted to go round a corner fast & they caused a load of vibration.

Am I imagining it or was there a mod availble once upon a time that involved fitting a spring in one of the drive shafts?

Hi

There is only one answer, its too low!!! Get bayjoo springs & koni shocks & it will be fine.

I popped 2 driveshafts within 2 weeks of each other.
Eventually traced it to both engine mounts broken into 2 pieces!!

Put new Vibratechnic ones on. Job done!!

Drove nicer too!
