[DeTomaso] Spares

[boyd casey]

The U-joint failures and wheel losses from axle breaks were two of the
reasons I upgraded to the SACO rear riser that has modern modular bearings
and replaced the half shafts with  cv joints from a Porsche 930 Turbo.A
spinning half shaft with a broken u joint is like a giant Nunchaku
(Nunchuk) that can and will tear your car up like a Gorilla on steroids!
