Anyone experienced CV joint issues with track use or is it mostly an excessive travel issue on stupidly low cars.

I have heard what I now believe to be some CV clicking, only on one very hard corner of the track as I accelerate through it. I think my suspension might be compressing too much. (I'm on 235 AO50 softs). Anyone have similar experiences?

It happens under big compression moments, and particularly if you get air with one side only and shock the rear.

Aftermarket axles typically fix it, as does getting a drop knuckle.
