hey guys , I need to ask a question ...

If you sit next to the front wheel while the car is on the ground , and you pull up and down on your side shaft , is there a little bit of play on them , just about 2 mm or so ? very little , same on both sides.

The reason I ask is I had 2 quick drag races this week , I don’t usually , but I was just wondering how strong the sideshaft and CV joint setup it , as I don’t want to brake anything , I usually do a rolling start but had 2 starts where I had wheelspin from the start , so just wanted to make sure the car would be ok ?

they are quite strong, but if u doing it all the time its going to break, but before they do it will make noise to let u know we are not going to last much longer, try and find out whats the highest rev u can go before they wheel spin, this also helps u in the race, while they other guy is spining u already going, also watch your rev counter and when u changing gears, they speedo must not stop claiming,

na , only done it twice since i had it. no noise or anything , but i think they must have very slight play in them ? to be able to move etc ? na , when i put foot , speedo keeps going.
