Hey All

What is the purpose of that big driveshaft loop in the Terrano D21's?

To catch the driveshaft if it sh!ts a uj, beats pole vaulting on the motorway :(

Cheers,
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!

Interesting, would have thought that the cross-member might stop that, but I guess it doesn't have the ability to stop it flaping around.

Wondering if it really needs to go back in :-)
