wat shafts are you running in it as in wich one did u break?

[barnyvaux]

i was running speacial made jobbies cost ?300 but they were using standed nova hub's. the sharfts are really old about 8yr's i think. came of a friends nova he took it off the road about 6yr's ago and never finished it and then striped it,so they haven't had much use really. it broke the short shaft half inch from the end on the splines that go into the cv joint. never seen one break there..

by the sounds of that i suspect the shafts were cut and welded jobbies and its broke at the welds
