Tommo Posted 26, July 2014 Report Share Posted 26, July 2014 I'd suggest there's something else at fault. There are plenty of people on here running similar setups with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex Posted 27, July 2014 Report Share Posted 27, July 2014 How low is the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRAKD RS Posted 27, July 2014 Author Report Share Posted 27, July 2014 the car does sit very low.. it has not bottomed out or anything the boot on the drive shaft pop out when I went around a roundabout under minor boost. do you think raising the height would help?

TRAKD RS Posted 27, July 2014 Author Report Share Posted 27, July 2014 There are plenty of megane's out there with the same or more power as mine I was wondering if any knows if the race spec cars that under go racing and a lot more stress than mine run the same factory drive shafts?

Apex Posted 27, July 2014 Report Share Posted 27, July 2014 I am thinking lowering it too much may over stress drive shafts, it can cause bump steer and kill shafts. Maybe research bump steer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupremeMoFo Posted 27, July 2014 Report Share Posted 27, July 2014 Try http://www.photobucket.com or www.imgur.com - Imgur is easier to use, but only if you resize the image appropriately before you upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex Posted 27, July 2014 Report Share Posted 27, July 2014 You need to upload them to an external image hosts page and post them here wrapped in IMG tags, sorry, I am no pro, there must me a how to here somewhere if you search. I did some googling, its not technically bump steer, I got that wrong, its to do with the drive shaft angles when a car is lowered too much. Not sure if its applicable to the Megane but we used to have issues with another car when we lowered it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car was a DB Honda Integra and we lowered it around 100mm from what it would have sat at factory with Tein Adjustable ride height coilovers, this was back in the late 90's when adjustable coilovers were not common, I remember it went through a multitude of drive shafts in one year and used to bump when cornering, once raised up 20mm it was fine afterwards.
