goodbye driveshaft

[samSC1192]

fingers crossed but i got it looked at quickly and the thoughts are that if just snapped the bolts its hard to tell without getting the car on a hoist and taking the driveshaft out but i think the cv is fine. im gunna book it in to have someone use easy outs to get the snapped bolts out of the gear box since this is going to be cheaper then actually buying a set myself then if all goes to plan ill get 6 new bolts and away i go tho i will get the cv checked out to be safe...

I had the issue with mine where the bolts that go through the CV had all worked loose and had almost fallen out. I put it down the to fact that my discs were a bit warped and until I replaced them it did shudder a bit...might have rattled them loose. I was very lucky they didn't shear off for me as well.

yeah i think mine would of had to come loose for this to happen possibly from swaybar and drive shaft knocking all the time im not sure but it was definitely driving fine with no vibrations before i was driving silly and suddenly had them snap on me ..
