make sure to check the rear u joint when it's out. That's what goes on mine every once and a while. But that's too easy. Are you still having fun hanging off those helicopters?

I kept thinking it was my DP but I didn't realize it would bounce around that much. It still feels like my front passenger tire it out of balance, accept no shake in the steering wheel??? I guess I might as well pull the DP out and bend the fire wall a bit maybe even try to put my 1.0 housing on without pulling the whole turbo. WTH it's worth a try????? Everyone says it can't be done but I think I am stubborn enough to make it happen. Lol lol. One of these days I will get to it!!! I got bahamas coming up soon so might just have to wait until after that.
