    Could you look at this drive setup pic, broke a driveshaft and need advice

    Here is a pic of my drive setup. Could someone give me some setup advice, and look at the pic and tell me if I have something incorrect? I broke a shaft!

    Well, It' looks just like mine. I to almost broke the stock Drive shat, but had the kintec/OSE one allready in the mail. much better, get that one and the bushing.

    I also have a bit of a hard time getting the strutt level at the end , always a little gap.

      imo what has happened is the shaft has snagged in the busshing of the strut they are known to do that use lots of grease in there and change the shaft for either a upgraded 150 shaft or as i did upgrade to a 187 shaft and teflon bushings far better

        Also, you could use a little more gap between the drive dog an the back of the strut.
