broke AGAIN

[breadstraw]

well once again tonight my nova decided to die a horrid death :(
last time it broke i blew the diff up in the gearbox

this time it appears that the drive shaft has fell out
well according to the pretty nice man that came to rescue me anyway :\


i'm hoping it'll just slot back in
but thats doubtful knowing my luck with this car
any suggestions people??

check to see if the clip is on the end of the inner cv joint, if not then it could come out if you are cornering hard or wheel spinning around a corner......but saying that, if it is then you must have a shot engine rubber mount.

Was it the long shaft that popped out?

[breadstraw]

it was the shorter one that popped out
gonna have a proper look at it when my brother comes round in a bit
hopefully its an easy fix and i've not blown another gearbox to bits :(

[Plug]

prob the inner cv thats gone. did it happen whilst cornering??

[breadstraw]

yeah i was going round a corner and it just decided it didn't fancy moving anymore
when i jacked it up in mcdonalds the wheel could still be spun but sounded like it was grinding on something

[Plug]

my bet is the inner cv has exploded

Had it happen to me before

Got shats in chester if needed asap.

What engine?
Xe on standard nova engine mounts or something?
Probably a load of engine/box movement hence why you keep breaking cvs etc.

[breadstraw]

matt i'll let you know later today if i need them
more than likely i will though haha
just waiting for my brother/mechanic to come have a proper look :)

i hope it is just the inner cv joint
