I recently broke my right passenger(fat)halfshaft at the CV joint closest to the differential. I picked one up from a used auto parts store...I got it out of another sc that was wrecked...I installed it...It drove fine until I got to about 30mph and not even barely pushing the gas it broke in the same place...could this be the luck of the draw thatI got a bad replacement or maybe something else wrong? The car will still drive under its own power with the left side still...so it cant be the differential because it wouldn't have moved when I first put the replacement on...so what could I have done wrong or was the replacement bad? If I get another...how can I check to make sure the CV joint is good on the next one if the boot is perfect on it? Do I remove it? what do I check for? Thanks for any help.
