Well from what it sounded like the first one the stub axle pulled out slightly which damaged the LSD when all the metal shavings from the stub axle made there way in the diff.

The second two haven't been torn down yet.

A couple thing, I pull off my pass side wheel and see this..



I looked everywhere and couldnt see anywhere it was rubbing. It's rubber/plastic.

Other question, Easiest way to tune out push without changing the rear toe? The car felt balanced the way it is but I just added two more clicks of front bar to max out my solid bar. I feel it might have alittle push to it now and I dont have the time to take it and redo the rear toe before this weekend.

Back off on the front bar, or lower the front bump, or raise the rear bump.

Back off the bar. the end.

Those marks on the wheel are not rub marks. Well, they are but they are from a poor ass cone that got stuck in there for a period of time. No worries.

PS, get some toe plates adjust your rear toe when ever you want. It's easy. Camber has much less effect than toe.

Duh! Thanks Matt, knowing me I'm sure it was a cone.

As for the bar, I'm gonna give it another try. It's not like I can't change it back within 15 mins. I get it handed to me in slaloms.

Robinson- We are running on a freashly sealed lot on sunday. It's the same lot as I ran on yesterday and if you look at my video posted 5 or so posts up you'll see how slick it was. Theres a race on Sat. though on a pretty grippy lot so I'll be able to remove or add on that lot but on the slick lot I'm already on full soft on bump so my only option would be to add bump in the rear. Thanks for the quick reply.

Says the guy thats also full soft on bump and has softer springs... HaHa. Nice job at kicking my butt yesterday Dave.Eku's grip seemed better then the pad. I just sucked ass and couldn't put down power and had no trust in the car to drive any faster. When I tried to get on the gas earlier or drive at a faster speed the rear would steep out.
