anyways i was driving down the street the other day "no road markings"" and i drove over a mini island... and i hear this terrorble sound so i pulls over .. well 2 cut along story short ive nacked my gearbox but i didnt hit it on the island ,,, ive been told that because ive lowerd my sei that low that my gearbox has failed cuz the driveshaft poped out =SS

do u have 2 buy longer driveshafts ??

how is the g/box nakered when the driveshaft fell out.?? try popping it back in and carry on

and how low is low?

Just take a look. A driveshaft that's popped out should be pretty obvious.

Unless the shaft has made a break for freedom through the casing then it should pop back in, but we do need more info.

I suppose if its a Sporting it could have popped out of the cup if the bushes are very tired.

well... hummm about 90mm i think.


thanx.

90mm thats unreal like what shocks are you using and where you get your springs.

cheers gregor

If it was driven a mile then the drive shafts were still in place, unless it was down hill.

What bump stops (thickness) do you have?

I'd put it down to the driveshaft wanting to go somewhere the diff couldn't follow. Somethings gotta give............

I've got my suspension over 120mm though that's with around 1 turn of lock reduction & don't have problems. A quick thought, -45mm makes the drive shafts about level, the shortest distance between the diff & hub, so -90 should be at the same point as stock suspension but in the opposing direction.

If it drove, both driveshafts are attached, sounds like the gearbox has a hole in the bottom of it.
