Message	Just guessing, but your car is making less than 400hp to the ground. i don't think I've seen anyone post they've busted a diff without drag racing, let alone two of them. And at that power level. I don't have the answer, but something is fishy. Fluid has already been asked. Correct level? Everything installed/mounted correctly? Driveshaft angle? 1/2 shaft angles? Twisted/tweaks subframe? Bolts missing from somewhere? ummmmm..can we just post about cars? (n/m) - College Boy 08:55:03 04/28/05
