Re: Half Shaft
Hell yes, Parts break it is that easy. My unlucky fortune was not user error the u-joints cap came apart at the half shaft. The u-Joint is still intact on the wheel hub.
I am going to do the "402" in the Ruby, Still want to do a TT in the Aerobody. That might be years away though need another car to fabricate all of the plumbing, than switch engines with the Aerobody and send if off for tuning.

Re: Half Shaft
If we are talking about Al, I think his car is North of 650.

Re: Half Shaft
Well finally had time to get the driver side U-Joint and Half Shaft installed. Anyone ever see anything like this. There was no damage to knuckle, hub u-joint.

Re: Half Shaft
If you broke the axke at the hub, you probably don't need bigger half-shafts you need a better quality axle.
