Hi JP,

I owned SPF 343 and have seen a similar probelm on other SPF cars. The bolts in the rear diff housing are undersized and with a high torque 460, 427 etc. engine they break. The fix is a larger bolt/washer combination in a grade eight. If the holes are elongated from wear a drill out/plate weld may be required.

Be careful until you do an inspection and really find out what is going on.

Another problem was the original rear shocks broke on the lower end where they attach to the wheel carrier ----- new shocks required and then you may as well go to the Bilsteins.
