So on my way back from dropping of my new bumper from getting painted i started to feel this rattle. It was small at first but once i got off the highway it started feeling like that car was gonna break all together. I managed to get it home to examine it. At first i thought it was the u joints. Amit came by to take a look but of course it didnt do it. So on the way to darkside( was heading there to adjust the intercooler) it started doing it again. Drew got it on the lift and what do we see.... the axles were starting to crack. Just great so now i had to buy them new and get them installed. This sucks. But at least when i get it back i can finally go to the track to see what i can run with this setup. Ill be so happy when i finally get to drive it around with the 98 talon bumper on. I've havent seen a 96 with that bumper around here. i'll post pics next time i get a chance. Thanks for reading

 

Yea bring it by my place sometime Id like to check it out...
Hopefully we all can run our cars soon. And you should be able to get lifetime warrenty on those axles.. Lmk how it goes!

 

Where is darkside? ive always been curious

 

axles is a easy job, next time let one of use know we can get it done.

 

+1 Axles are a cake job. All you have to do is swing the wheel hub/calipers out of the way by unbolting the control arms, etc. Have a 15" crescent wrench on hand to give you some leverage and the old ones are out. Put some white moly on the new ones ans slip them in. Unless yours are rusted in place it should only take a couple of hours.

 

Darkside is in Clearwater, lke if you were going down Ulmerton to get to the Sunshine speed way, but instead of turning left on 19th were the checkers is
(i think that road is called 19th)
instead you turn right and then drive like a 1/4 mile and its at a blue facility on the right hand side and youll see some dsms, or a s2000 parked outside usually.

 

its 49th...

 

yea I knew it had a 9 in it. lol
I dont really be out on that side of time much and guess Im not good to take direction from.
