need a little help guys...
first...my dogbone keeps popping out, and its not on a jump or a crash, happened 3 times today...it doesn't seem to be bent, and when it is in place it doesn't seem like it could even pop out just by looking at it... I have 2* camber, which should have the dogbone closer to the diff. i dont have the SLIGHTEST clue that would cause it...
now my next issue... the car seems like its top speed is either their or not...one lap the car seems to scoot, the next the car seems to be dragging ass...I did put a new sensor wire on because the others were shorter, and kept falling out, but this one hasnt...but when the speed is low it seems similar to when the sensor wire is unplugged. I'll have a few quick laps right off the bat, then the cars speed seems to slow down for the rest of the time...possible my slipper or diff is too tight?
sorry for the dumb questions, still learning.

I have used this setup for about 5 or 6 track days and it just started happening tonight...

Is it possible that you've got a cracked T-plate or arm mount? What all have you checked?

well i figured it out... the inside bearing on my rear hub was...blown out you could say?
heres what was left of it...

idk if any of you would know, because i bought the car used and it has the b44 hubs...i know the outside bearing is larger, but is the inside bearing a different size than the ones for the normal rear hubs?
Could this explain why it seemed sometimes the speed of my car was quick and other times slow?

Inside bearing is 3/16x3/8 just like the front wheels and the transmission, so if you've got spares, you're good to go

my only other question is, because i ran it for 2-6 min qualifiers, a main, and about an hour and half of practice...do I have to worry about damage to other parts being done due to the abuse/lack of a bearing?

I ran jason haase's setup he posted recently and it actually is really nice, I think a 2.5 toe in block would be a little faster in the times
I will try the brent theikie grand prix setup now i will post results
the setup was pretty consistant but it was more of you had to push the car hard or drive smooth but that could be a number of factors
