So? You would think getting some insight on situation coz it's not normal would be the next best thing? Haha

I did give you an insight on the situation and how to solve it, but you're denying that could be it.....

If I was thrashing the **** out of my car I wouldn't be having this retarded conversation with you coz it's common sense why there braking if I was thrashing my car I would say if I was but I havnt had a chance to coz of it so your insight of it is the same as this conversation

The only feasible reason you'd have smashed 3 tailshafts, is thrashing your car....

Give you a little insite of my tailshaft experiences....

My younger years, dumping the clutch resulted in spreading the front yoke, dropping front of the tailshaft on the deck...Taiilshaft was still useable...

About 15 years ago, some idiot forgot to put a uni cap in far enough, which resulted in it falling out of the tailshaft....I was doing 80 KPH in 3rd gear and had the bellhousing smashed into 3 pieces and snap an ear off the gearbox, where it bolts to the bellhousing....Taiilshaft is still perfect and still in the car it occurred in.

Recently, I had 3 c.v's fail in 4 years with my VC tailshaft....C ause was 2 hit marks near the uni points and the tailshaft was 25MM too long for the gearbox conversion it had done....Had the tailshaft shortened, rebalanced and is all good.

So who's the retard that has smashed 3 tailshafts and alledgely drives sensibily? Give us all a break and wake up....We're not all retarded people like you, thinking normal driving causes this

Ok VC, I think that's enough for now. I think we've all heard your opinion.

This makes sense if it was only one tailshaft....We are talking 3 tailshafts that are busted, so the chances of 3 seperate tailshafts having some sort of damage to them is highly unlikely....
Or. Or it just never happened.

Both of the above. If three identical imaginary driveshafts destructed I'd suspect they were incorrect for the application causing them to be the weak link or the "fuse that blew" when too much pressure was applied by the nut holding the wheel.

p.s. Continuosly repeating the same exercise while expecting a different outcomes is insanity.

Must have a Harrop centre then? Because the weakest part on a stock driveline is a ZF LSD.
