prop shaft

Okay so my prop went after three 5 days of owning the car im getting a stronger prop made but whats gonna go next.

It was the rubber connecting the spline to the outer tube so im getting one made with no rubber im guessi.g it will be the splines them selves next which isnt going to be nice

Has anyone but i strengthend prop on and had more trouble or anything let me know

I take it it looks like this?



In which case, it's not the props fault. No offence, but it's a 1.4, it's not a high power engine. There is no chance that Volvo would have fitted that part to the higher rated 1700 if a 1400 could break it.

I imagine your engine mounts are knackered.

Yup you got it

And in all fairness i havent checked the mounts yet i literally bought rhe car drive it and it bwoke ill check them tomorrow but it dosent feel like theyve gone

Definitely check the engine mounts, but if they're OK then it might just be a perished prop. The rubber can get perished.

Yes checked mounts there nackerd you can rock the whole lot from the airbox i checked the carb to make sure it wernr that and nope the whole engine is rocking where can i get mounts from now then

Check gearbox mounts aswell (4 on gearbox and diff))
