as above. the heat from the downpipe has melted the inner boot on the drivers side driveshaft. the grease has got out and theres a bit of knoocking when its hot, i dont think ive damaged the bearings so a new boot and grease should fix it

trouble is itll keep melting....can you get heat resistant shaft boots?? or will i have to max up a heat sheild??

i had to remove the heatsheild as i altered my valver downpipe for use with a williams 4branch think im going to have to modify that and replace it then

seems it hadnt melted, had a perfect split in it, swapped the driveshaft but think i need to do the wheel bearings as its making some funky noises

also maxxed the heatsheild on till i get some heatwrap 8)
