my car seems to have a problem with it not agreeing with my passenger side driveshaft, i recently replaced the inner cv joint and since then it ran fine, until about 2 hours ago when it fell off and left me stranded at the side of the road.

its done this before, but i got a vibration through the pedals for a considerable time before it fell off. this time, just "boom", landed on wishbone. bolts no where to be seen

anybody know a way i can keep these little buggers in? i use new bolts every time, torqued up and everything, just disagrees with it some way every time.

can i fit a nylock nut behind the gearbox flange without it fouling anything? or any other ideas welcome

my plan was for more power, but if this keeps happening, ive got no hope :(

thanks in advance guys, luke

Locktite the buggers in!

That a side, they shouldn't come off like how you have described!..... You dont have any slack in the flange do you?

Steve

when its nipped up, its solid, but it worked itself loose, checked it this monring and theyre all tight, just hoping and praying it stays tight really, any more off's and it'll probs damage the joint and shaft :(

Check the flanges for anything that would stop the flanges mating correctly.

What torque setting are you using for the bolts?
