If the rear drive shaft was installed 180 out from the original position or has thrown a weight be enough to cause this kind of damage, but if that were the case I'm sure there would have been quite a bit of vibration associated with that. I think half of my problem is that I haven't looked at the system as a whole myself as far as how everything is mated together, it sucks that I have taken peolple at there word......live and learn. Is there anything in particular that I need to make sure of when I drop my skid plate this weekend as far as making sure that i have the "guts" of my drive system supported? Gonna be a long weekend.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
