Whats the Most Durable Guibo for Track Use?

or improper driveshaft alignment. Is this a swap car? And if so what motor and what mounts are you using. Deflection kills guibos. As stated.. A good quality OE Febi/Bilstein guibo is all you need

Ditto this. Didn't know it was a swap.

This is an S50 powered track car. I do HPDE's and autocrosses, so all of its miles are pretty tough. The swap was performed 3 years ago and that may actually be the age of the guibo. Next time I'm under the car, I will check for u-joint slop, csb slop, and do my best to test for output shaft slop.

I'm using a g260 with modified trans bracket and green mounts. I do have to shim one of the mounts with a couple of washers for it to carry some load, otherwise there is a gap.

I hope that the rebuilt driveshaft is not already sloppy or maybe out of balance?

I agree, with a stock engine premature failure of a guibo will be from a bad drive shaft or a bad transmission.

I will certainly check the rest of the driveline for slop and wear.

My driveshaft was rebuilt a couple of years back. I sure hope they're not worn out.

The revshift guibo looks pretty sturdy, anyone have experience with that one?

There's no reason for an 18mo old giubo to wear out that fast. Either your output prop of the tranny is wobbling or your driveshaft is.

Your driveshaft u-joints are likely worn out.

Dunno.
My knowledge was that unless you have solid/poly all the way around the car it is okay to use poly for the guibo since it needs some sort of flex.
Don't Corvette's or something share the same guibo as us?

If it wore out that quickly, it's from a wobbling driveshaft. A new CSB will "fix" it for like a month. You need a new driveshaft.

I was getting a horrible whine on the way home from my last track day. I kept thinking to myself I'm going to have to look into a rebuilt trans. I'm pretty glad to have found this toasted guibo that looks like it was allowing some metal to metal rubbing.

This thing is barely a year and a half old. What are you guys using with more success? I don't think I want to use anything completely solid, but theres got to be a more durable option than oem.
