Foot Loose

for the past 3 years I have one of his CV shafts on my YJ and have never had
a problem with it. I think you are an isolated case or more is going on than
you are saying with your rig.

Hey Dan, I had a Tom Woods om my TJ and it sucked so bad that the splines
twisted. I had 31in tires at that time and I was pissed. The shaft was a
week old when it happened. He would not replace ----. I had a custom one
made at a local shop and it is still strong after all the abuse and 3yrs.

You obviously have your angles wrong. Tom Wood's driveshafts are the best.
If your angles are out, no driveshaft will survive.

ps. You sound like a whining Jackass.

You're supposed to lube them. They go bad if you don't.

>> binding up cracked the back half of the case,

Driveshaft binding is due to improper or excessive angles, or a shaft built to
improper specs provided by the customer. These are what caused your problems,
not an improperly built or defective driveshaft/joints.

>tonight I crawled under the Jeep to find that my bellhousing is cracked . . .

And how would you know that? Do you have any evidence or do you just think it
did because you want someone to blame beside yourself?

>Tom Woods himself said he would look at the driveshaft (I sent the broke one

He didn't lie to you. He was probably sick of your unreasonable whining.

Offroading is hard on equipment. Driveshafts get bent, CV joints and U-joints
get broken. Perhaps you should pick a different sport.

When I break stuff its because I broke it. I don't blame others for my own
actions. Too many people are looking for someone to blame these days. Start
by looking in the mirror.
