Is your tailshaft balanced , or It might be bent , are the circlips coming out and allowing the caps to spread apart , and what angle is your tailshaft at , also do you have enough movement in your slip joint , you might be bottoming the tailshaft under suspension bounce , or are you just floggin it. How often do thry break and are you driving in salt water , Cheers Paul.
