*HELP* can anyone explain this?
eg with gsr turbo swap:
Last weekend I ran some 22" slicks at the track and on my last run the car started to shimmy towards the end. I pulled into the pit area and looked at my passenger side halfshaft and it wasnt all the way in. It would go in and out as the car rolled. The next morning i pulled out the shaft and noticed that one of the three bearings inside the inner part of the shaft was stuck inplace and the end of the inner part was a little rounded off. I replaced it and it ran ok for a day until the next night. I was about to race someone and when i put it in 3rd and let out the clutch it just made a grinding sound and would not move. I thought my tranny was gone so i pulled it out and took it apart to inspect it but only to find nothing wrong except the inner part of the new shaft was rounded off now (wtf!?!) and the spider gears had a little movement. After all the hard work and being confused i decided to take the boots off of the shafts to see if it was ok. The part that the three bearings sit on (the three pronged part) was cracked in half on the driver side shaft. Well all i want to know is, what the hell caused the shaft to round off like that? Did anyone else have this happen? Are the spider gears in the diff supposed to be a little loose?
these are pix of the passenger side shaft
