Broken cup in rear driveshaft.

[Clubin]

Well, my rear driveshaft was squeaking, thought it was just a dry universal, pulled it all apart and removed the rear driveshaft and found the cup on one of the universals was broken and all the needles were gone. I suppose the 29.5's grab a little better than the stockers.

Anyone running the GORILLA CV rear driveshaft, I am seriously thinking about it. Post pictures if you have em and any opinions welcome.

Did you try to get the u-joint under warrenty, or did the dealer laugh at your Outlaws and ask you leave, lol.

Who do you work for?

I don't own outlaws! LOL

I just changed them myself with a set of 338's from the auto parts store.

Should I have claimed wty?

If it happens again these guys make axles just like the Gorilla but are from CANADA. I have been running their front axles for a couple of years & like them.

Hey Clubin, mine did the same thing not long ago and I tried the Napa u-joints and they didnt last 10 hours at the most. So I got a gorilla shaft and it seems like it otta hold up a lot better and it cleared up most of the clunking noise on mine too.

I ordered a Gorilla prop shaft, should be in by the end of the week.

Hey Clayton, I may have something for you to try out on your machine pretty soon. A buddy of mine has started making his own axles for the popo's and he says he CAN NOT break them. He is one of the test pilots on the show, he did the mud tire shootout. Now from what he tells me, they are bigger tha the gorilla's and they have more movement in the joints. I'm just waiting for him to e-mail me some pictures and I'll get them posted on here. He also claims he will be less than gorilla's and less than axles system....could be interesting eh!

[Clubin]

I like that, sounds like somthing I may want to purchase. I like to keep business local meaning more in Canada if at all possible.... You have my attention. I like the idea, so he is going to manufacture
1.fronts
2.rears
3.prop shafts
I haven't had any problems with my others cv's, but a prop shaft deffinetly interests me.

[Rubberdown]

right now he is testing CV's. I think that might be the extent of it, but we shall see where it all goes if they are as tough as he claims they are, and if they are, look out, he will sell lots of them if they are tougher than the gorillas and less money.....
