Well on the way driving home from school yesterday I was doing 70 with no problems and I go to check my rear view mirror, and I can hardly see anything out of it because it was shaking so much. Then all of a sudden BANG!!!!. So I pull off to the side of the road get under the jeep to see what the damage was (knowing it was probably something with the driveshaft) and this is what I find...
NOT cool.Luckily my chain had not completely fallen off so I was able to limp at 5mph to the next exit.
I checked my U-joints in both front and rear shafts and they were tight, and no vibrations like this had ever happened before so I still cannot guess as to what caused this catastrophic failure.
So if any of you are driving east down NY-17 near exit 84 watch out for all of the Aluminum from my T-case in the road
P.S. Does any one have an extra NP-231 sitting around or know someone who is parting a jeep out near Orange County NY? If so, drop me a PM because I pretty sure this one is not going to work so well anymore.
