Snapped an axle...dammit
So after my LSD and carrier assembly swap (S4 GXL Auto LSD to S4 SE 5 spd, retaining the 4.10's) I went for my first test drive today.
Car drove perfectly fine, nice and smooth, no whining, backlash is set nicely. Then I did the real test to see if the LSD worked, burnout.
Both tires definitely hooked up, for about a half second, and then my rear dr. side halfshaft snapped. Gay. Will be replacing it in a few days. I have a feeling that it was mostly due to old age, the car has 151k on the chassis. Oh well.
