Thread: Rear drive shaft disappeared no drive?

Dunno how one could lose a drive shaft and not know. Surely it would bang around no matter which end came off first.

Low/high lever slipped into neutral hopefully,so easy fix.

Must be those dastardly stealth propshaft removalists, you'll never see them in action unless you stick a camera underneath, because they only do it when the cars moving....

But just in case it's not that, tell him to try putting it back into high range.

Same no clue how you'd miss that even with the music all the way up. Took a mates partner a few months to forgive him after she was rudely woken up by a front prop departing @110.

As to locking the CDL, depends on what's missing/still flailing around. Annoyingly you can't tighten the rear output bolts to hold the brake drum on without the propshaft there.

On the tow truck. Tucked up there! Bloody boy must've had stereo up loud as it would've made thump!

Gee,he needs a hearing test

That would have still been making a huge noise after the thump when it broke,or maybe not if it came out of the splines.

Anyway,could have been a lot worse.

I reckon Paul.

Can he lock the CDL and drive no issue including on motorway til fixed?

NO. The rear propshaft must be removed first. Second thing would be to check the condition of the front propshaft. If it's been as neglected as the rear one, then it, too, could break with genuinely catastrophic consequences.
