Snapped Sportivo Driveshaft...


Recommended Posts


I thought they would be good enough to take that much use. I haven't heard of any turbo Celicas breaking halfshafts.

Another way to reduce the halfshaft life is a little thing called reverse torsion. Maybe the previous owner liked changing directions, hard, before coming to a complete stop.

Had another Sportivo get towed to work the other day... Snapped shaft...

Front tyres were bald as a beaver tho so no guesses if this one was abused lol...

I think they got it under warranty tho, around 45.000kms on the clock...

Looks like they all must be weak in that same spot...
