ORIGINAL: PoopieBritches

Those shafts that you linked to are the shafts that I'm using,perhaps I am mistaken,I thought that there was a difference between universal and cvd? The original problem I had was that the axle was popping out of the diff cup at full compression and full lock with wheels.To prevent this from happening,I placed some spacers over the shock shafts to limit the travel. This seems to be working well enough,now the problem is that one of the pins that holds the two halfs of the universal shaft together is working its way out. I just replaced the shafts,and after two packs thru the truck their already coming out.I have tried to peen the ends of the pins,but they are so hard that they break rather than mushroom over.Idk,but the rear of the truck uses dogbones,and I'm on my second set of those as well.Thanks for the reply.Mike
that's odd, my Monsoon XTR has the same CVD's stock in the front, and I added them to the center drive trane as well and have not had any issues with them. I'd say you must have received a defective set, but after replacing them several times there is obviously an issue with them.
