in the process of doin that last night and today and ive done nice lil screeches before and nothing goes wrong but i shall never do this again...i was just havin a lil fun and this is what happens...oh well itll be fixed by this afternoon hopefully...old s-10 owner said:From the photos posted, the sequence of events went something like this.
Clutch is dumped, the sudden application of a large amount of torque to the rear end causes the leaf springs to wrap up allowing the pinion end of the differential housing to move upward to the point that the yoke on the front end of the differential contacts the drive shaft, damaging the bolts, bending the drive shaft & cracking the rear transmission mount. If such an event occured with your vehicle, it would be advisable to replace the u-jount as well as any other damaged parts & install a set of traction bars if you plan to do these kinds of launches in the future
lol, i busted mine off from the shafts... now I got a rear end from an '03...old s-10 owner said:From the looks of the second photo you posted the differential housing rotated up when you dumped the clutch binding the rear u joint.
