Congrats dags... If you were to build those out of a steel or carbon based product that could sustain the forceses that a datsun 180b would exercise on them it would cost you in excess of a million dollors.. If you need me to show you the forces upon the delicate angles, related to the products that could handle those force, just give me a PM and I will make an effort to show you.... All forces are sheer and can be quantified immdiatly............This is a car site not a fairy site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Crap dags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wouldnt even run a sewing machine Edited 02/03/07 04:06 PM by Blonk Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32932-cv-joints/#findComment-503473 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the only thing used in 400hp 70tonne semis/roadtrains etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32932-cv-joints/#findComment-503538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
