Long side cvs

Post by georgey »

Hey boys.
Just wondering if anyone can tell me why I keep breaking long side cvs and never a short side?
I've done 3 longs and no shorts.they're breaking on pretty easy stuff too.
I understand 38s wouldn't help and I'm not complaining just was wondering why the shirt side never breaks.
Before you ask,no I haven't jumped it neither is the front braced though.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Talk to Chris at LOCKTUP 4x4 about the track assassin cvs, im running the 27spl versions in my car with sticky 40" tyres and they have held up well so far. They are relatively cheap in comparison to longfeilds.
