   My twat of a mate done a wheel spin on full lock and has fucked something! When your driving the wheels basically lock and then release themself, so we jacked it up and wen u turn the front wheel they lock and then u turn it again and its ok but it always seems to lock in the same place.
   
   So...we changed the passenger driftshaft because he broke the cv joint and hoped that was the problem but no it still locks in place and makes a sort of clunking noise so something tells me hes fucked something in the gearbox, maybe the diff?
   
   Anyone got any ideas?

   people can sit and type causes of the problems all day long on here,just take it to a good garage and they will most likely find the problem straight away.
