Re: Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A.....
The part that confuses me...it came apart under no real load. At what RPM would this have failed on the ground with traction /weight and increase friction-resistance in the driveline ? It could have been much worse. How much depth was in the yoke engagement, how did it slip under rotation? Could there have been a bind adding stress to the shaft during torque / suspension cycling? Any clues on what's left of the Muncie or the shaft (tubing, wall thickness, cracks) itself?
I enjoy doing Destructive & NDT testing on Welded-Fabricated components here at work....I find all failures interesting as they each tell a story. I'm looking forward to seeing this back together !
