Our car had only one shim and it pulled the cv apart, like maybe it was too tight at full extension. They sent extra shims. If any one had a clearance/play number please reply. I'll be cross checking the play off the other axel for starters.

By the way, adding a shim will in effect lengthen the axel (shims go on the wheel hub side). Humm? That will reduce spline engagement, won't it? By putting more load at the end of the spline shaft. Maybe that how they break that part.

Mark.

Did you ever get your broken axle sorted? I have the same issue. The car is 2015 superformance mkIII build and I was jumping on it and when I hit second gear the driver side axle broke. I am trying to get the car fixed, but not sure what steps to take in terms of either upgrading the axles or just replacing the one that failed. So, what was your outcome and any recommendations..
