    Drive Shaft issues

    During the track day yesterday my drive shaft came out twice while taking a corner. Unsure if its due to spinning out and sliding on the grass earlier. We managed to put it in again and it was fine for the drive home.
    My question is the drive shaft faulty or the place it locks into in the gearbox?

    Cheers

    was the circlip spring still on it?

    it indicates you have too much play somewhere in all your sussy and engine bay.

    do you have hard mounts?

          As we discussed Karl, I would recommend getting the inner CV inspected by a professional for damage. I suspect something may have happend to the cv but was unable to tell 100% at the track.

              CV = constant velocity joint

              Each driveshaft has an inner and outter cv joint. You will need to pull the shaft out and get a driveshaft shop to inspect it
