In this case the driveshaft may be put under too much strain with the suspension pushing on it but it cannot go anywhere so something has to give.
Ahh.....got it. So the tube is filling up and with the seals blocked there's internal pressure. Wow. OK....so Landtank and I just have not experienced blocked seals.
