(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) WTF - I'm really tired of this self-rescue operation - the driver's half-shaft has come off twice now - and the repair is a pain in the ass. I'm afraid I'm going to be mowed down by a texting teenager while I'm under the car getting these things back on.
twice now on the driver's side - and I checked the other side and those bolts were loose as well. so now I've gone from DT (damn tight!) to RFT (really f'ing tight) - - - anyone else have this happen? what to do? New bolts? thx td |

This happened to me twice. This subject sure comes up on the site often. I found on my car the output flange was no longer perfectly flat. I have the ability to correct mine. Since I did this, it hasn't moved. I believe when the cv's come loose and wobble, it causes the output flange to distort. It was mostly seen at the threaded holes. These were high spots. In this case, no matter how tight you make the bolts, they will work loose.
