Sounds like a perfect time to upgrade to some stronger axles.

LOL

So last night my buddy drops off Ginger and brought some other friends to help me push her in the garage. We were hanging out shooting the shit and a couple guys wanted to see what I broke. So I told them, hell if you have a few minutes I can pull the axle out. One thing led to another and 30 minutes later Ginger has been healed! New axle is and and she is ready to go!

Man, I can believe Ginger was down for almost 8 hours. I couldn't take it anymore.

About to take her out for a nice Sunday drive!

Nice to see that she is back together and healthy. See you this weekend at C&C?

I've never really thought about the half shafts, but what is under the rubber that busted? some kind of U-joint?

They are CV joints.

*mlee* · 02-26-2012, 01:23 PM

So you went back in with stock axles for now...

BullF-16 · 02-26-2012, 01:39 PM

Sux, i have a set fresh out of my car, 5800 miles on them. Yours for cheap if you want them.

YourBlindingBias · 02-26-2012, 02:27 PM

Definitely get upgraded half shafts!, I've seen too many stories like this :(

hightower · 02-26-2012, 03:57 PM

Back on the road!

Deki · 03-22-2012, 01:37 PM

Sucks you broke the car, but on the bright side, I love your car. It's probably my favorite Camaro.

Tractional control, stabilitrak, etc. All the computer aids basically.

Well if he upgrades the axles then the next thing to go is the Diff. I'd save for a full drive shaft and upgraded diff gears and axles all together. Then you'll have a reliable rear end. I love the stance of that car just sick..

Also what size slicks do you have on there??

That's the plan. I have a bunch of back up stock parts. Once I'm on my last set of stock parts I'll step up to a built rear end package with 4.10s.

I run 315/30 18 Hoosier drag radials.
