Half shaft direction?
Discussion
They go through a twisting motion so yes replace them the same as when they came out.
Bend something one way it doesn’t tend to break, bend it the other and it does!
We often talk about drive shafts breaking whenever Drag Racing is mentioned but it’s fairly rare considering what we are doing with them and the extreme loads applied opon them.
It’s usually the older type that break as they have an extra groove cut out of them for a circlip to fit into, unless your Peter ( phazed) who just has too much power
If your replacing all the CV joints it probably makes little difference unless your going to be doing racing starts which you are not. Once your moving even a few mph the power is nothing like as forceful opon them.
Barry has millions of hp but I don’t think he’s broken one yet on the drag strip as he’s just got a great start technique, watch his video and you’ll see the massive grunt his cars got.
Should give you a little more confidence
