well my sinuses have been fucking me for the last week or so but thats not even the worst of it as of now. I took the probe out after alittle tinkering, took a corner, not fast mind you, and when i straightened out _Thud SCCCAAAAPPPEEEEE_ the left drive shaft broke at the tranny and my tire went from being a straight 12:00/6:00 to a 9:00/3:00 angle, while the right tire is still at 12/6. So yeah this just happend about 30 min ago so im gonna have it flat bedded and just part the fucker and junk it. I have put over $800 into this thing. It was much worse that the seller described it to me when I baught it and have had nothing but problems. So fuck it…guess I’m depending on Mommy’s car for a while. ---

wait. I’m kinda lost, how can a busted half shaft do that? It sounds more like a tie-rod popped. ---

did you recently have the suspension on that side apart? My guess is that when you put it back together you forgot to tighten a bolt, and didn’t have cotter pins\> ---

So yeah his balljoint has a pinchbolt, and it was not properly tightened down. Replace the halfshaft, tighten the pitchbolt, and his car will be good as new. However if I owned that thing, I would run it off a very steep cliff. ---
