Consumer Description

THE DRIVE SHAFT BROKE IN HALF. THE ALUMINUM INSULATION BLANKET LOCATED ABOVE THE DRIVE SHAFT SAGGED AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE DRIVE SHAFT. OVER TIME, THE RUBBING OF THE BLANKET AGAINST THE DRIVE SHAFT WORE AWAY A 5 INCH PART OF THE DRIVE SHAFT UNTIL IT BROKE IN HALF. THE BLANKET HAS NOTHING TO KEEP IT FROM SAGGING SUCH AS WIRE (WIRE IS USED IN OTHER PLACES BUT NOT ABOVE THE SPOT ON MY CARE THAT ALLOWED THE BLANKET TO SAG). *TR
