Finally, fixed the grinding rear end problem

I know the subject title is begging for a butt or gay joke....

 

Anyway, some of you may remember I've been having a problem with a grinding sound coming from the rear of my car during hard corning. I finally got it fixed with a little help from John @ Anderson Motorsports. Several months ago I got a replacement axle/CV joint assembly (from raxles.com) to replace a CV joint that broke. It turns out the axle is about 1/4" longer than it should be and was hitting against the inside of the stub axle. John was nice enough to send me the correct axle and everything is quiet now

So was it the fact that it was shorter or this time you used lube?

You were right it was begging for this?

Glad to hear things are well again.

You just couldn't take that extra length Tom? I had heard John had a shorter one! Sorry guys, your right, who can resist?

 

Don't beat me up next time I see you ok JA? I'm only kidding.

Aw, beat him up anyway....that Aussie deserves it.

 

Tom, super glad to hear the car is 100% again. NASA has a great schedule this coming year. Bring it out.

I learned that the Aluminum A-arms come in 2 different sizes now, too.

I had to buy 2 more because of ball joint failures. Once again, AUTOBAHN filled the need at a fantastic price!
