Well, they say it happens in 3....

Last week when I decided to rotate the tires, I came across a few problems...

First, the damn stud broke...


While looking at the stud, I noticed the shock seemed like it was at a wierd angle...WTF?



Then out of the blue, I've got a serious vibration at 45 mph. I pulled the driveshaft (my newly made aluminum one) and the guy at the driveshaft shop said it had a bend in it. He says the way the bend is in it that it's from torque.

I assured him that there wasn't enough torque to bend a driveshaft that they use in 700HP vehicles.

Anyway, they're making a new one, I'm going back to steel instead of aluminum...

Hopefully this was the last of my set of 3.

My first thought was that these were all related but I haven't been offroad in a LONG time, didn't drive over any hybrids.... really I have no understanding or rational explanation why these 3 happened at the same time.
