ok

i did this today on the street doing normal driving

i have a 2.5L with stock gears and a light foot.

Any ideas what would cause this? Looks like the ujoint went right through the yoke. The ujoint is still in tact and everything.

Any comments?

This is probably less than 8 months old!

Thanks

looks like you haven't greased it in 8 months, or ever:zzz:

Kind of a grainy pic, but it looks like a lack of lube.

i have lubed the shaft 2x in the 8 months i have owned it

is that not enough?

thanks

no way! the more angle the more it works! I would say once a week on a daily driver. sounds like a lot I know . but look at the result of ever 4 months. that is only a lack of grease problem! large all wheel drive tractors that have cv drive lines grease the joints TWICE DAILY

yikes

ok

thanks

any ideas on how much to replace the CV portion?

thanks

no but I know it will hurt! look up jesse on the board? onetoncv I think

Just got off the phone with Troy @ Tom Wood's place and they think it was u joint failure and they are taking care of it.

Great Service and Reply!
