What are the details, the boot, the circlip and any other damage?

No idea but I will ask the dealer

 

[TheDocAUS]

Any larger tyres or lift?

No idea but I will ask the dealer

So how did you know it was broken or did they spot it at service?

 

[Joerg]

Spot and replace at the service

 

[Joerg]

No lift and standard tires but airbags in the back axel

Thanks but I would be interested to know what they found, I am suspecting a split boot. cheers

Airbags should not cause a break.

 

[Joerg]

That’s what I think No influence on the driveshaft angle in the front at all

Spot and replace at the service

Was the drive shaft broken or just the boot and the clip?

It was spotted at service, suspect a boot?

You might change the thread title to broken boot rather than broken tailshaft, which is far worse.

It's not my thread but you are right about the name change. I feel a lot more issues are similar on the broken tailshaft thread.
