If I had an axle that was sent from the factory with no groove for a snap ring, or if the snap ring was missing, I would be greatful that someone cared enough to help me, by asking me to check it.
When I found the problem, I would also post up the reason,
as a way to help all of us get smarter.........
and I also wish you good luck on becoming an engineer
we need more good ones.....Thanks, and rep for you. -Bob
Thanks Senor,
Many of us try to help, and with how much I have learned doing Formula SAE and Baja SAE the last three years I try to help as much as possible. Everyday I learn something, whether its a new widget reading Racecar Engineering, a new machining process that one of us has come up with, welding technique from one of the old guys, or 3-D modeling shortcut. Much of what I do does not directly relate to much of what goes on here. But try to help nonetheless
I also appreciate your practical knowledge. I have not done any performance upgrades to a production car in 4 years, and am out of the loop on many questions on here. I would love to show you the SAE shop one of these days soon (I am moving to Panama city in a month). I am also taking the cars to a local car shows this summer since I am now an alumni so I may run into you there.
I will shoot you a PM and try to work something out
