Re: engineering hights

they will all engineer it but it will probably have to go through the lane chnage test.. ie hire race track paramedics.. fire bregade all that bullshit change in and out of lanes over 50m or something at 80kms...

lots of hassle considering it take about an hour to swap springs in and out..

Re: Silly question, hubs are banging out of being locked?

the spring underneath the teeth causes this to chatter even when dienguaged dont know if that is you problem

Also why the hell would you want to make the CV the weak link.. its heaps easier / cheaper / fater to undo 6 bolts and change a hub rather then taking the whole swivel assembaly off
