Default Snapped driveshaft

Last week got hit from the side by a 78 year old man who ran a stop sign.. And today driving down the road my drive shaft snapped ... I have to wait to Monday to see if it's related to the accident .. Or if it's covered by my warranty

You have bad luck! haha.

Hopefully it's related to the accident so it'll be covered by their insurance.

It's happened to me a couple months ago on the strip. I ended up buying a used shaft for 120$, installed it a parking lot and I've had zero issues since.

Slicks with lots of power, or just a fluke?

Perhaps he means that the universal joint on the driveshaft parted company?
