Ive lowered the car but not by that much, but the driveshaft keeps popping out and i dont know why ? Is there meant to be a washer on the driveshaft ?

Any ideas would be helpfull :D

Ok, just to clear up, where is the shaft coming out from? inner or outer?

And is it the actual shaft coming out or the C.V joint as well?

You need to knock the cup thing the driveshaft goes into back in towards the gearbox, tap it with a hammer and block off wood - it clicks into place

Exactly what graham said :) you need to make sure you get it knocked in all the way that it will look like the inner CV joint is about to touch the gearbox casing. and you shouldnt be able to pull it out by hand immediately
