Just a thought- I've seen one Pantera- used for drag racing with a highly modified engine- that twisted the sliding splines inside both halfshafts. In this car, the sliding length-adjuster splines were sloppy-loose from the dumping of the clutch, along with apparently not ever being greased, as the factory zerks were missing.
