Lets set the scene. I blew a CV joint bout 3 weeks back. So I went and got an axle to replace it, its easier and not too much more expensive. Takes a week for them to get the axle, great. While I'm waiting for the axle I think, mine as well get some other stuff taken care of also. I have a 3'' downpipe waiting to be put on, so I started that. I had a bushing kit for the shifter cables, put that in too. Changed some oils, tightened some bolts yada yada yada.
Well then I find I need a bung put on the downpipe, so I bring it somewhere to get done, then I find I didnt really need the bung, ok whatever, better safe than sorry. So great, got the DP done and todays the day, finally 3 weeks later I will drive the car and it'll be faster and it'll be awesome woohoo. ![]() Yeah, right. I'm pulling out of my garage, I'm just out of it when I hear a god-awful noise. Immediately I think, uh oh, the axle. I push the car back in the garage, jack it up, and what has Celica given me: ![]() Another day of fun. I'm going to Taco Bell to cheer myself up. What a waste of a read right? -------------------- |

the same thing happened to one of my friends, he had just put in his axles, backed out of his garage and they came out and made horrible noises. all he had to do was put them back in, and tighter and then they worked fine.
