Camel Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 anyone got any theories as to why my driveshaft fell apart??? the only thing I can think of is that it wasnt balanced correctly. There is a balance weight missing but it could have come off then it shat itself. Makes driveshaft loops seem a lot more important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 havent hit it at some stage and its just given up the ghost?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Was it rubbing on anything? its pretty unusual to break in the middle unless thats where it had been welded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Have you bellied out on anything? I guess just a small dent in the DS could weaken it and cause it to give out eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebo3 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Not a random seat belt bolt that goes through the floor is there? Under load (power/human weight) could occasionally touch the ds, and then wham. At least I know there is on the 5i rofl. When you going to paint it? Same colour?

Camel Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 just talked to the driveshaft guy and he reckons the tube is too small in diameter. because it is a long 1 piece at high rpm the driveshaft will bow too much in the middle and this will happen haha. So getting it redone in 3 inch pipe should be much better Im only painting the roof for the moment, guna paint it white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Yea it was pretty small, factory crown ones are a much bigger pipe than that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
