Ok, need some answers here. Of all the genuine Nissan cv's you have broken, what has been the component that failed most of the time, just to generate some tech discussion.

Genuine nissan cv cracked the bell apart, aftermarket cvs completely blew apart destroying bell, star and burring axle

Never broken one in 6 years of wheeling in my GQ — closest I came was poping a freewheeling hub. I have always run 35's + twin lockers and for the last two years it has had crawler gears. Drive with some finesse and I recon you'll have a hard time breaking them. I'm sure most will say, 'where's the fun in that!'

I want to pick 2 options.
1st one drivers sidebroke the bell
2nd one drivers side got noisey so replaced when locker went in
3rd one pass side broke the bell. At the same time I broke the short shaft as well.

Do they break?
Seriously, mine did fail on the bell when we hit it with the oxy.

I've broken 2. first was a 12 yr old genuine one. pulling someone in reverse 37" claws loosing and getting traction, high revs and on full lock. completely shattered everything on that one. replaced that with an aftermarket job and broke that about 6 mths later. smashed the bell, stripped the axle and scored everything in the surrounding area.
replaced again with genuine from the wreckers and have had no probs since.

never broken one yet !!!!!!!!!!!
I'd also be interested to know which side most people break, drivers or passengers and has this got anything to do with the 2 different lengths ?
