Driveshaft popped out
« on: 10 July 2013, 05:56 »
Hi

On the drive home from work at 3am, I suddenly lost power.
After getting recovered home it turns out my driveshaft popped out.

Going to have a look in the morning.
Does anyone know why this would suddenly pop out!
Car has been lowered.

Would i need a new driveshaft and what do i need to do to fix this

I take it the shaft has come out the outer cv joint? If so its more than likely that has failed. They are put under added stresses on lowered cars.
