Are any of you still at stock power levels?

Seems a bit early for a cv joint.

Where is a vendor that can offer an upgraded part for lowered higher powered cars?

He mentioned he wasn't trying to warranty it because he has a supercharger on his car.

Open yours and let us have a look please. Are you on stock ride height?

Stockish power levels. Just a flash and mine went.

Are you guys tracking, drifting, or just regular DDing?

I WOT a lot and drive rather quickly but my traction control hardly ever engages (I never turn it off on regular roads). Just curious what conditions and if I'm going to see problems. I guess it helps that I am running gripless all seasons or maybe it hurts as I'll have less traction

Not sure how you drive it with stock tires and tc on.....with better tires sport mode seems to be useful for the first time otherwise it was overbearing and full tc was useless.

What about the ride height ? Slammed cars or stock?

ZionsWrath · 09-07-2013, 11:17 AM

Its 235/255 DWS tires, I don't try to get sideways and my tires squeal like a pig ans TC doesn't kick in.

Only one time it started to get sideways and I tried to put the power down and TC locked me down ended up stopped sideways on the curve. lol

I was on stock power when it started clicking, a couple weeks before i got the SC installed.

What did dealer say for warranty?

Carwhisperer · 09-07-2013, 01:15 PM

Getting mine replaced under warranty. However, dealer said the part is back ordered and i have to wait for a month or so. Noise is getting worse.

I'm about the two weeks out, and the joint seems very "loose" now. Any halfway decent acceleration and it will click. I've started to get two clicks on medium to heavy throttle changes, which might be the LSD engaging/disengaging. I'll be surprised if the dealer doesn't replace the axle on the next visit, if it isn't broken by then.

Please keep us updated, the warranty on drivetrain is 5 years/60k miles so I am very interested how this turns out on a stock car. I want FI but at the same time want to expend the factory drivetrain warranty just in case...

is this clicking everything time you drive or only when you move off example from a light or dead stop???
