Popping drive shafts ,GST
Hi all ,need some help please
My GST is running great lately BUT my left front drive shaft (gs244) keep on coming loose from the diff outdrive,not even after a big jump ,doing it also on just rough ground !
It only take 2 min to sort it out but it is a pain to keep on stopping for repairs .Tried to have a bit more camber but it still popping out !!
Any ideas ?

Have you replaced a lower A arm lately?,
As i purchased a new set of lower A arms from a nemesis to replace a broken one on my gst and found the new ones
to be as much as 5mm difference in length when fitted,
I had to adjust the camber alot to compensate for the different length A arm
maybe a new A arm could cure this
hope this helps

sparky -It is all original GST.
Last night I played a bit with resetting the suspensions ,- moved the shocks to the inside holes on the A arms and to the bottom hole on the towers ,also got the camber back to factory settings.I will try it today to see if it helped .
Next idea we had is to swap the left and right diff outdrives so the wear inside the cups will be on the opposite sides ,-not sure if it will help ,also not looking forward of "fixing" good diffs.
This GST is pure fun now (after lots of frustration before) and the drive shaft issue spoil it a bit ,will try the above shock set up and report back.
