TAD from the driveshaftshop called me and had me remove the axle and do a torsional test. OUTER CV IS TIGHT as Brians mom"yea" and the inner CV is as loose as J.H. Christs *** HOLE. Thats loose. Anyways TAD is calling me as soon as he can find a 36.4mm tripod bearing assembly and SHIP OUT ASAP. So my dyno session may still be on. Waiting on a phone call back.
MAYBE JUST MAYBE this **** will be dyno worthy saturday.
TAD called me and is shipping out the 36.4mm bearing tripod to me. BASTARD COST ME $90 shipped......
YEEEEEEEHAAAAAA.......going back to bed now
HERE IS THE DAMAGE
Now when I put a new boot on the bearings looked perfectly fine with minimal wear for 10K miles. But when I removed the boot the bearings were still in tact but I SEE METAL FIBERS
Yeah shitty picture but you can see the metal reflecting.
AND HERE IS THE CLASSIC MONEY SHOT only one bearing stayed on the tripod housing.

Um, ya, it is (were not talking N/A here are we?). Even on that holset... Not to say it WONT work, but youd make better power/spool with three inch. Therefore, 2.5" = restriction..

Wait until you have an overhardened ching chong meow axle come apart like a greenstick fracture when you are driving a car that makes a max of 80 whp. But, they are OEM axles!

Re: New axle boot installed VIBRATION NOW
I have had numerous people tell me to buy remanufactured OEM axles over egay "stage 2, 250whp+ axles" You make the decision, I got 2 step and 14psi, im getting owned by my clutch, not my axles!
REPLACE THEM! It will take less time than doing what your doing, and it gives you better peace of mind! IMHO!
