Boostaddict did it to his GT.
Broken rear driveshafts abounded. But the H6 would be making less power than what he did, so not sure what your breakages will be like.

The 2006 Liberty H6 has the R160 rear differential.
Expect to go through a few of these.

Sorry, I meant to type R160, just like in the chart.
Bad eyesight first thing in the morning.
Will correct.

The torque of the turbo engine (and how it is produced) is what breaks driveshafts. Power's largely irrelevant.

But honestly, if you want RWD, buy a RWD car...

Correct. Torque is the force that drivelines transmit.
Rotational velocity, within limits for vibration, is not a factor.
