beastgtir Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 common on most jap cars the shafts snapping, i remember when i was younger - i took out my friends crx to do a wheel spin, rev'd it let go of the clutch and a bag of nails sound appeared with the car not moving!Sometimes with these jap motors, they have a balancer ring on the shaft, water collects due to it and rusts it out which in the end causes to to crack and snap.They do last ages though! i mean most mb's are around 12 - 14 years old and still on original shafts!

beastgtir Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 oem is the best but in this case, for difference in price. I would go aftermaket.. I think oem driveshafts are over £250 .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
