Ive just got my nova back on the road after a re build and it keeps breaking/twisting up cv joints! Its a 20xe wih m-tech shafts and cav big cv's im guessing its not the power as its only 190bhp so how do guys with 300bhp get on?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!:thumb:

Maybe the engine isnt sat straight in the engine bay?

Is it level with the fr panel when you look at it head on with the bonnet up?

Does it chew up the same CV joint everytime?

Where are you from btw mate? What does the car look like?

Like Craig said, the Nova shafts are fine, so the M-Tech ones should be!

Unless there is a flaw with the shafts? Are they brand new?

How is the engine sitting? Pics?

The engine looks to be sitting in the bay fine and the shafts were fine when i had them in my previous nova. Although im using crap standard engine mounts and thinkin about it the engine was moving about a fair bit when it was on the rolling road so maybe thats the cause?

Im in the axminster area Craig ill post some pics up when ive got some time.
