As you may know i've been having lots of handling troubles over the last few months. Car has been an absolute pig to drive. I tried everything. Have all new suspension bushes, shocks, and just got a new set of General Grabber AT2's in 18's. Still had lots of trouble and very tiring to drive.

Now I had checked using the lift one wheel method and tried to rotate, it appeared that the viscous was OK. It finally occurred to me that it could be the coupling after all.

Symptoms were:
- Heavy Steering
- Car Wandering badly
- Veering under brakes
- After every alignment, car was perfect for half an hour

So I went to take the front driveshaft out only to find that the Bastards who did the gearbox had rounded off the bolts . Today I finally had a chance to get the dremel and cold chisel out. I got the front driveshaft out and went for a drive.

WOW !!! What a difference, the car now goes straight down the road, turns corners with the flick of a finger, and is a lot quieter. I also tried to turn the front output of the transfer box. It didn't turn at all.

So i've contacted andrew E in the hope that he can sell me a second handy until I get mine rebuilt. I think it should be ok as long as I don't drive to hard
