So.................I Broke My First CV Joint

[Grand Master Patch]

Had a little bang the other day and had to tickle the car the last mile home,turns out my inner cv joint had exploded

Done a bit of research and it's one of those things that happens when running quite low.

Going to modify my old drive shaft to hopefully solve the problem,drive shaft binding on the cv cup sucks.

had it myself in my old primera, on way to airport, it blew up and i had to stack it into roundabout, didnt realise the 3ft drop on other side of kerb tho!


how can you modify the driveshaft?

Going to grind some metal off the CV cup to prevent the shaft binding on it.

hopefully it will be the last you see of it

OUCH, the only other option is to put shims on the engine mounts or do some C notching

I broke the law of dubbing yesterday, actually raised my coilovers slightly

YOY DID WHAT!!!!! 

[Hulmie]

needed extra clearance at the front as drivers driveshaft still rubbing and adjustable droplinks are wound all the way down

[vwprime]

If it isn't rubbing it isn't dubing paul. lol

last thing i need to do is give the car more problems than what it has itself

It's not binding on the chassis,it's the actual cup that the inner cv joint is sat in that the shaft is binding against.Shims are on my to do list,couple that with a modified cv cup and i should be laughing.
