Re: Lessons about CV axle failure

Good points.

Lesson #2: If you are spinning your wheels and it starts to hop, get out of the gas and stop immediately. The second a tire spinning at 10-15 MPH gets traction, something bad usually happens.
I tried to climb a ledge at Gilmer this weekend and started hopping pretty good. I stopped, picked a different line and went right up.

I got down to the vehicle and discovered that the driver had no tools, no axle, nothing.
We had to do some minor trail repair on a vehicle. All it took was a basic set of tools (wrenches, hammer and screwdriver) that most people already have in their garage.

He was lucky to have someone like you (and Graham) on the trail with him.
