Re: [DML] angle drive

[mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Andy - do you remember much of the details of the failures?  Your car 
has pretty low mileage, and that may be a clue.  What would be interesting 
to know is:

Does your car sit for long periods of time without use?
If so, how long after a long rest did the angle drive fail?
Were there any warnings before the failures - bouncing
speedo needle, inaccurate speed readings?

I am Andy Blackmon the owner of 03513. I have owned this car since 1982. The car has 31,000 miles on it and has had 4 angle drives. The one on it now is working fine but I do not trust it. If John or anyone can make a better angle drive or one that may be better (cant be worse) I will buy one and keep it in my glove box just as a back up. Oh, by the way after changing 4 angle drives i am very 
> good at it, but would like to never do it again.
