when the driveshaft is pushed right in it dosent come out far enough to get the driveshaft nut on the strut. its in bits now just trying to wirk out what to do. has no one had this problem when lowering. i think as the camber has come out due to lowering. that its pulled it the strut to far out.

is it the passenger side m8? if so check all bushes for play or even engine mounts, as they shuldnt pop out that easy. passenger side is worst for doing it. mite be worth jaccking car up and feel for any play, also check gear box n engine mounts. hope this helps.
