Most recent CV carnage

Well I finally went to swap out my old CV shafts.. the pass. one was spinning inside the plunging joint (no bueno)

and this is the driver inner.. somehow i didn't break it completely off too. somehow i got a cool guy, who had also gone to wyotech at Advance so swapping them out was easyyyy..

breaking cvs is easy with cranked t-bars and or wheeling. It puts them a bad angles. When you hit the gas, applying torque while a front wheel is hung up on a rock, or tree, while the wheel is turned or even straight, and presto, there goes a cv.

That isn't a CV, that is a stub shaft (aka: outer) from his front D44. He has a SAS.
