No I haven't really given it my all. I am trying to get an idea of what I should be looking for. One of the techs I spoke to told me to check the front c/v shafts. He thinks because it happened after a u-turn I could have "popped" or broken a front shaft. I was under the impression being primarily rear wheel drive that they would be affected. Is it true then if it is a front shaft it would disable the entire driveline?
