i got a guy whos bent 2 drive shafts.
the car is a ls1 f body. he is the original owner, road races but doesnt drag race. the car is pretty much stock. the first drive shaft bent with original suspension. at speeds of about 220-230 km/h. well some serious vibrations were met. then it was replaced by a shop with a steel drive shaft for temporary use. tested it, ran fine for a bit at speeds of 220 km/h. then a short while later the vibrations came back. went to the shop again, it was bent. the only differenced between the two times was the second time he had some suspension mods done like new konis, relocation brackets, eibach pro kit, aluminum lcas. now what the hell would cause two drive shafts to bend at speeds of over 220km/h??? |

I would start to check all the motor and tran's mount's! Is there a poly trans mount on the car? I would also check the output shaft on the tran's too!
FYI the steel shafts are really bad from the get go, that's one reason why GM went to a alum shaft. |
