take ur cvds apart and put a little bit of grease in the inside of the cvd that will fix the problem

where are you talking about? cause I used grease on the cvds at build so the metal to metals should be lubed...and I have the same problem at full lock ..but turning down the epa worked for fine for me.

My wheels would have to barely turn for the chatter to stop...now that you mention the lube, it make sense that that could be the only thing causing this...Mr Crum is the man

One thing I use for the maintenance of my CVA's is a Super Lube Product called dry lube. Comes in a spray can and it cleans quite well and breaks down old grease FAST then leaves a clean pre-lubed surface that is easier to clean next time around. I used this stuff in paintball for high/low pressure metal on metal contacts that would cycle at 20 BPS.

Crum,
Are you replacing the diff rings and balls or are you just checking for flat spotting and wear?

over a period of time the diff rings will get grooves in them once they get grooves u can flip them over then after that side gets grooves u have to replace them i replace the balls after both sides of the rings are shot so just watch for grooves then once u use both sides trash them and get the rebuild kit and start from scratch
