I did the install on 01spas2k's car (nick) did the turbo and clutch along with the inlinepro/driveshaft shop kit.... we put the car up in the air today and put new axle nuts on it and set them to 220ft pounds.... then i gressed the pads and bent the passengers side clip thats mounted to the calpier it seemed to subside on that side. but unsure if thats what did it, on the driverside the click varies when you steer side to side quick.

as for the vibration it feels as though its comming from the rear of the car while we had it up in the air I checked the mounts for the tranny and the diff they looked fine as do the engine mounts can they be bad without looking bad? also while it was up we started the car and reved it up to 40mph (where it is the most noticed) and used the e-brake to put a load on it.... the diff would shake while the tranny and such stayed in place.

axles and kit has less than 1k on them!

any insight would be great! thanx in advance

 

i think if you do the axle nut fix too late, the wheel bearings might have already gone bad

 

Would the wheel bearing make a clicking sound? I thought a wheel bearing would whine?

 

im not totally sure. but i know that they say if you don't fix that axle nut problem soon enough, your wheel bearings usually go bad and need replacement.

 

not saying its not the wheel bearings but... if they spin smoothly can they still be bad?

 

Vibration go away under decel?

If so, It's bad inner CV joints

 

nope noise is there after you heat the car up a bit on decel and accel. but tends to go when you crank the wheel the opposite direction.

I dont think its the axles being that they are 1k miles old


thinking its the wheel bearings.... new ones this weekend and we should be able to see what 450hp acctually feels like...

 

If none if this started until the diff/axle swap, it's not the wheel bearings.

 

when my car was lowered, i had the vibration....then got it turbo'd...now it's even worse when in boost

 

maybe driveshaft spacers so that the angle of the halfshaft coming out of the diff isn't as acute?
