Hi all,
so yesterday I had my drivers side CV axle break off on the transmission side. it unbolted it's self from the tranny, and broke the few remaining bolts. I called my mechanic who had replaced it a month prior, and he wondered if it was my 2" lift that stretched the axle to breaking point? i told him that i had never heard of that happening before and that they sell 2" kits for the mk4, so i didn't think that was the problem. Is this even possible for the lift to cause that to happen? He's looking at it today than is supposed to get back to me about what he finds, but i just want to know for certain that my lift didn't cause the issue.
Thanks,
