[DeTomaso] CV joints

[Boyd Casey]

I have the aero boots on my CV joints too and no problems tearing the boots
or turning the wheels with the wheels up off the ground. Have you ever seen
what a broken half-shaft tears when one breaks?  It's a lot worse then a CV
boot. A spinning half of a half shaft is like a steel nunchuck. It will
tear your Pantera a new ass.
My 2cents.

   I have the aero boots on my CV joints too and no problems tearing the

   worse then a CV boot. A spinning half of a half shaft is like a steel

   Not sure I would go with CV joints
   seems like you can't turn things when the
   car is raised and wheels hanging down otherwise
   the boots get torn.. Darryl with monster power
   in his Pantera ate a set doing the over the hill
   run we do to the coast.. real tight in places, twisty
   and off camber.. he thought he tweaked his trans
   until he removed the CV joints and parts started
   falling apart... I recently replaced my set last year
   after running the old ones for over 8 years hard..
   they were already old before.. bought a newly rebuilt set
   with cad coatings from Tommy Hodges work
   fine... I did change the bolts and nuts and seems
   like I am not always tighten them after I run the track
