Post subject: | T2 problem with drive shafts |
i have just bought the T2 and ran it for the second time last night all was good until i heard a clunking noise from the front end and the car didnt handle well in left corners... ![]() upon investigation i found that the connecting drive pin thats held by the small grub screw at the end of the drive shaft had moved and was rubbing on the inside of the c hub... even though i had thread locked these all inplace the front left would not stay in positon the pin just keeps moving out and rubbing and sometimes locking the front left wheel up.... ![]() HELP i need to get this sorted ready for wednesday as i know the car has some really great potential once i have got used to how responsive it truly is.. ![]() i look forward to all and any replies on this any help is better than none ![]() |

Well three of us in our club run T2's and we have all had this problem and have replaced the screws, threadlocked them but they still come loose after a while. The best solution so far to this is to make a flat spot on the bar as suggested. Could xray make bars with cutouts in for this in the middle like they do with the bar that connects the 'C' hub |

Still I stay with my opinion that if tightened very good with some threadlock it should work. And I think the pin has not enough material to make a flat spot without breaking easy. |

the key to making lock-tite work is that the screw and the pin have to be CLEAN. if there is a little bit of oil on them, it won't set up right. take some rubbing alcohol and clean the parts really well. make sure they are dry then lock-tite them. this should take care of any problems. |

Good points. And to add as an extra: Let the lock-tite first dry before putting it together ![]() |
