Leaving my usual thursday dinner spot, i had to get on the gas due to a small gap in a loooong line of traffic... then BANG BANG BANG BAM.. i knew what it was... it was that new shaft i just welded...
i would have bet money that something happened to my weld... but nope.. not even a crack... the front ujoint ears broke right off the shaft...
not knowing how strong the weld would be, i put the welded side closer to the axle, so if it broke, there wouldn't be an entire shaft flopping around when i was coasting to a safe place... but... murphy's law kicked in.. and the weld held strong, and since the front snapped, the shaft flopped around and busted up my exhaust... looks like i'll be parking it until i get the lift done. i'll get pics and keep you posted
thought it was ironic
