Hard to say without seeing the actual shaft and where it broke.
That bracket was gone if I remember correctly. It was bolted in fine the last time I had checked it. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures of the driveshaft on my other pc.

From what I've seen, shafts can fail at the welds. I for one, was very curious if anyone else has had incidents with driveshaft failure... doesnt matter if its OEM or aftermarket (steel, alum, carbon) etc...

Just curious to hear stories. Feel free to post up.
No problem man.

Had I drove it around another day or less I probably would've not had a leg any longer.
That looks pretty nasty, any idea what caused the damage?



I should add that the differential was not damaged either. I'm currently running it on my S13 and haven't had any problems with it.
