Does it clunk when you are on and off drivetrain load? If so also check that the Axle nut is tight..

If you want we can use a shoelace and chalk for the alignment.

Mike suggestion of the strut sounds like the next logical place to look. didn't you have a spare set someone (Andy I believe) loaned you?

Yeah, I have them in my garage... Why you bored?

Yes, both. When car is thrown from side to side as well. Axle nut huh? Haven't even thought of that one... You don't happen to know the size of that nut do you?

Pretty sure that castle nut is 36mm. It shouldn't ever be loose though cause of the cotter pin O__o. Does it clunk when youre starting from a stop aka drivetrain vibrations.

I have heard it when I pull away from a stop before, but generally no.

Mine doesn't make any noise except for hard braking during autox. No noise at all for daily driving.

I haven't heard the noise on the road since I swapped out my endlinks, I haven't driven it much either. I thought it was gonna be ok, but not the case.

BTW, who was it driving the white evo with all the tire rack advertisements? I think it had "lee ridgick" written on it, if I'm not wrong.

Just wanted to say he's a crazy dude (in a good way). Thanks for not kicking any cones in my station. I swear, sna and I probably had the worst stations for picking up cones. I mean I know I could use some exercise, but that was just way too much.

I might be up for it depending on time and place. Chalk me up as tentative until you guys nail down the details.

andy, did you hear about that octopus in germany that has picked all the winners of the world cup so far? it is a pet that is in a pub over there. maybe they don't call it a pub there, uh bierhausen?

They can still be pubs. I prefer Biergarten - beer garden.

I'm still undecided on opening up shop monday or not. Seems to be 50/50 if my customers have off or not. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I could use that day to install the roll center kit and polish up the paint.
