    As I said before it's not unheard of to happen when dropped 60mm. Your pushing the wheels outwards so the shaft isn't fully in the box

    might get away with popping the top suspension strut bolt out and loosening the bottom then pull the top of the hub outwards to make some space for yourself

    Tbh when lowering a vehicle that much you should have the geometry laser level aligned, this would pull the camber back in and eliminate the problem

    well chapped the driveshaft back in and the car is now back to running fine, now will order 2 new driveshafts as both gators have cracks in them.

    you can just replace the cv boots, no need to order new drive shafts
