Been lifting and installing an Aussie in my XJ the last week to get ready for a comp this weekend. Finally finished tonight, took it for a test drive and snapped my rear driveshaft u-joint. :mad3:
Looks like at least 2 of the bolts broke off, hopefully the shaft isn't fawked.
I need to get new bolts while i'm at work tomorrow, does anyone know what dimension/thread they are? Can't remember if they're inside hex or 8mm "star" pattern but the dimensions should be the same either way.
And i can't just go to a shop asking for u-joint bolts.. noone around here will have that in stock.. My only chance is getting the dimensions of the bolts and getting new ones from a hardware store..
Fuck.
All i did was take off slightly rough on a dirt road.. Must have been weak bolts or a bad joint in there.
Help (?) :homer:
