    PPM Half Shafts, issues.

    I have now fitted the PPM Half Shafts....aaaaaaand there is issues.

    It started out very well, but after about two weeks I got a sound from the rear axle left side. Can be reminded of the sound when a small stone is stuck in the tire.

    So I put my hand under the car and pulled the axles in and outwards. Resulting in that when I pull the axle against the hub it stops in something that makes the same type of knocking sound. And as far as I know that is not supposed to happen, I sill have the stock axles laying around so I thought of doing the same test on those.

    Anyone experienced the same thing?
    I'm really sure that I have mounted them correctly.

    Pretty bad...Need to go to Nürburgring 9th of August :hitler:

      Ok, will do! I did tighten them to the correct torque, but I did not have any Loctite on.
