On throttle, the rear hubs and wheels would jump slightly...

There will be a high twisting force generated by the wheels spinning....nothing loose in the suspension area or pivot balls?

So, D, as Michael was so kind in visiting you guys in Asia, are you going to repay the favour and come to the 200mm International at MACH? :sneaky: :nod: Burn those guys with your Mazda! :eek: :lol:
Like I mention, I need to win a lottery ticket to be able to burn those guys with my Mazda 6 (as if I could).:cry: :cry: :cry: :lol:

Anyway, it would be a good cover to not alert the fans in Amsterdam airport of your arrival - could turn nasty, otherwise :lol:

I thought so too until crashed_1 pointed that out to me. True enough I went home to grind those dimples away and the "jump" went away.

I think it is because the dogbones are free to move in the lateral position. And because the dogbone can sit in the dimple or sit elsewhere in the outdrive, there is a difference in play and makes for the "jump".

Yup... I think you really need help, Mark. RC anonymous anyone?:lol: :lol: :lol: :cry:

Here is my thrust breaing after driving today - looks intact :nod: but most of the grease is migrated from the bearing :nod: It needs a clean and re-grease for saftey's sake.
Yup. Leave the grease in the balls. It will be fine.

Mark, if you're using Mugen Super Grease on your thrust bearings, they'll probably last you a good 3 weekends of bashing before a regrease is needed. These grease are great for the diff balls too.:cool:
