Hi guys,

 

a couple of days ago I stepped on the throttle in my 2008 xr6t sedan, and lost all movement in drive and reverse. The car makes an awful sound when in drive or reverse coming from around the differential. I also found some ball bearings on the ground and a round seal that had split. 

 

Any ideas would could have blown up? Would it be the differential? CV's?

 

I'll upload some photos of underneath and send a video of the sound it makes later.

Cheers.

CV at end of tailshaft. I did mine a few weeks ago.

Easy fix. New CV's are cheap-ish

Hey cat007,

 

Looks exactly like what blew out the bottom of it, except seriously less greased up. 

 

Did you end up blowing both CV's?

 

Is it common for both to go at the same time or just one?

I blew out the rear that bolts to the diff. Center joint is fine.

 

You can buy them on ebay for fairly cheap but if you have some decent power I would suggest talking to a driveshaft shop. Going after market tailshaft with a uni instead of a CV is what big power guys go for....
