Replying to: marika1 (Mar 17, 2008 3:23 pm) ....where was the driving shaft after the car stopped ? ANd in how many pieces? It shows as assembled in this picture,..  .were the two parts put together after the fact....? May be I'm "paranoid"...but if all of it was found on the ground, in 1 or in 2 separate parts, it did separate from the differential first... THis is just such an unusual event ......the few times I saw that..on other cars..it was because one end got loose for the bolts had fallen...I think is almost impossible it "snapped" like that just on engine torque...and anyway, just snapping at that end should not have caused much damage... |

Replying to: marika1 (Mar 17, 2008 3:23 pm) ".....it looks like the driveshaft got pushed back into the t-case" confirming the interpretation that the shaft separated at the differential first.... I think the event is not a "freak"....

Replying to: marika1 (Mar 18, 2008 4:16 pm) If you intent to ask for some compenstion for this damage that should not have occured after a $1700 repair, you must be able to answer to these questions: - was the whole driving shaft on the ground after the "incident" ? (I'm quite sure it was, but you have to remember it as a fact you verified yourself or somone else can testify) -had the driving shaft been removed from the differential to perform the repairs in the front ? (implying it can have been installed back with bolts improperly tightened) Can you take a picture of the OTHER end of the driving shaft and the differential flange that normally connects to the driving shaft ? |
