B44 Front Driveshaft Popping Out
 

Hi folks

I lost a front one way outdrive today after the driveshaft popped out. I set the kit up as per the instructions but the travel of the front shocks causes the driveshaft to be very close to coming out upon full suspension travel.

Have you guys fitted limiters within the shock bodies ? If so whats the part number please ?

Thx muchly

Richard

part number: AS6466. Have you got the shocks on the inner or the outer hole on the arms?

Hi Col

the front shocks are on the inner holes at the top

Thanks for the part number, are any included in the B44 kit ? if so i must of missed them ! ?

Thanks

I think col ment which hole are they on in the wishbones at the front? :confused:

ben

:blush: Sorry ! Inner hole on the wishbones Col.

Then i think you need an additional downstop for the inner hole. Personally, i run it on the outer hole so no additional downstop.

Is the kit setup not the outer hole also?

EDIT

Just checked.. kit setup is outer hole on front wishbone and inner hole on rear wishbone

are you sure you have wound the ball ends enough onto the shock shaft?

Just took my shocks apart for the first time since writing this thread and all four shocks have the .30 spacer in them already.
Im going to fit an extra 1 mm downstop in each front shock. Does this sound right to you guys ?

Thx

I have never had this issue with a diff but wonder if the outputs on the NTC3 where the one-way comes from are a little shorter.

If it helps, Lee Martin and Paul Bradby always use a front diff.
