    MY13 90 rear output shaft failure

    Hi all,
    Just thought i would share my fun recently.
    My 90 has had an easy life with only 61000k on her.
    On my way home from work last week i heard that awful crunch of the now diagnosed rear shaft.
    For those interested she had been making some awesome clunks on the way to work that morning along with the TC light coming on very faintly when taking off. No other issues with her until this day.
    After a tow truck ride i have now just ordered a Ashcroft replacement and ATB to put this problem to bed.

    Cheers Nick

    Been there done that. About the same mileage but our 90 is 2012!

    You should find it much smoother.

    This happened on our '13 90 at around 48,000ks.
    Only warning was a slight sort of "click" (obviously part of spline collapsing)n which was felt through the whole car, and the a total loss of drive a few ks later.
    When repaired, there was no difference to any "clunks" driveline noises etc.
