Default GS Universal CVD Problems

Just wondering if anyone else has had any problems with the GS Storm/SUT UNiversal, between me and a few other members in our club, we must have problems with about 10 CVD's. The weird part is it ison the dog bone end, the cross pin keeps comming out. We have had problems also with the set screw backing out and losing the cross pin in the axel side.

Just wondering if anyone else has problems, and just an FYI to other storm owners to check them out. I did call GS and I have to send them to them and they will replace, but I need them for my last race Sunday so thanks to JB Weld they shoul dhold then I will send them in.

Use blue loctite on the set screw that hols the pin in. Or if need be red loctite.

Yes I know, the major problem is the pin on the dog bone end. That is the one that keeps comming out.

Thats what I thought, We have all seen or heard of the pins backing out on the universal side, but on the dog bone end is unheard of. The ggod thing is GS is standing by their product and replacing them for me, I just hope the JB weld holds together one last race.
