I was cruising and the road ahead had tons of potholes and while I was swerving to avoid them my rearend was bouncing like crazy then hit one big hole next thing I knew I heard a loud grinding sound. I'm not sure what caused it to break but it could have been my pinion angle, torque arm bushings weren't tight or maybe I didn't install the ds correctly. One thing I know is the lakewood safety loop saved my *** and I need another driveshaft immediately !

 

damn that crazy. And you're local too.

 

potholes my ***! you dont' have to lie on there. we all know it broke becasue of all the power! lol,

that sucks though bro, dang spring time potholes

 

I can't wait to get under there and see how much sheetmetal I have to replace.

 

is this the one you have?

I think I'm going to get one just in case, especially since I think my ds is unbalanced and I'll probably be replacing it soon.

 

yep that's it ! I highly recommend it ! LOL

 

Safety loops save lives guys...

 

yea but that loop only helps if you break near the tailshaft. If you break near the rear your screwed.

 

If you break near the rear, all you have to do is clutch it or go to neutral and the carnage and hazard should be minimized.

 

i have one for sale if you guys are interested.
i also have a safety loop for sale

thanks

sorry about the mishap man i hope you find a driveshaft soon....

 

I'm on ebay right now lookin for one. I got that one for only 80 bucks which was a deal !

 

is that one the stock one or aluminum ??

 

ls1 aluminum

 

You've got me leaning towards purchasing a safety loop now I have heard of tons of guys snapping their Aluminum's lately

 

Update: Today I just got another driveshaft from a member on here and I also purchase some kyb shocks. I got the car in the air to see the extent of the damage cause by the pothole and looked what I found. I've determined that I had a busted shock that cause not only the driveshaft to break but my torque arm...ain't that a biotch ! Now I gotta buy another one after I just got it 3 months ago...o'well.

 

edelbrocks arent the best. id go with a umi or bmr

 

ok im going to get me a safety loop now

 

wow man you need some seals, that is horrific. lol im an ***

 

this is why I'll stick with my heavy stock lt1 ds
