The two driveshafts that connect together with the center boot broke apart while driving. Luckily when this happened i was only traveling 3 miles an hour. This is a major safety issue that should be addressed, either have a one piece drive shaft or the sleeve should be better secured. I feel that if this had happened while i was traveling on the expressway, my family and others could have been in serious danger
