I would suggest every 60,000 miles on the street, or if tracked every year or 35-40 track events. If it looks like this when you do it, should do it sooner...

I was carrying a spare because I'd torn the a boot at Watkins Glen a month earlier, and so had an S2000. It's fixable in the paddock, so worth having it with me.

Always happy to help Dan! Glad you got your car back together, there may have been some protests if you ran mine in T50. I love that about COM, people are always there to lend a hand!

Thanks for letting me run the A052s, immediately took a second of my RT660 time...just couldn't repeat that time in the TT!

I was about 4 tenths slower in the TT as well, I think the track was just slower...

Track was slower, but I think it was mostly me

That almost looks like it got water in it. The axles Ive had trouble with the grease is black and burn looking and some of it is charred to the CV internals.

Yeah, that's how the axle in my reboot video looked....
