[DeTomaso] Half Shaft Safety Hoop

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Considering the amount of weight attached at the factory and the  
amounts used when my half-shafts were recently serviced, I'd say it's  
pretty important.  Also consider for a moment those instances where  
owners have experienced bad vibrations in the rear, only to find that  
tightening the half-shaft bolts to the transmission flanges cured it.   
I think balance is very important.
