bigo1966 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Crap. I just installed a brand new front pass side axle. Went out for a 2wd lap around the hood, got on it and BOOM. I have 5" strut spacers with 4" lift blocks. Why is it the pass side front always blows up? I beat the hell out of the buggyroo and had no problems like this. Do you think its the gearing and power of the engine or maybe a bad rebuilt axle? The inner DOJ went and last time it was the outer CV. Crap. I hope im not in over my head...or I will just have to baby it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatswhatshesaid Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 looks good. sounds peculiar for a Subaru! ha ha. How far do you rev the ST1100, by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 The ST will hit 8k in no time. Im able to use the stock subaru tach. What is nice is the ST redline starts at 8k and the subaru tach ends at 8k so i Just keep it under that. I returned the axle, for some reason there is a difference between the carbed and FI engines. I went for the FI engine this time which was 30 bucks more. Hopefully it will be a little stronger. I already forgot the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigo1966 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 I have some x-braces going between the mounts in the rear. It works fine so far. Keep in mind that there is hardly any weight back there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
