Driveshaft wear at 10000kms

[lilrez]

What is your thoughts on stopping powwr vs. stock solid?

I was also running the non vented before. Ill let u know.

 

[NYTurbo]

I'd say the full is slightly better but I have no complaints . Still on original pads and they look good yet after 6000 miles on the original pads.

 

[lilrez]

What you mean full ?

 

[NYTurbo]

Stock one with no holes,

 

[lilrez]

Really .. U think its better than the oem vented.
Did u test em bac to bac

 

[NYTurbo]

I didn't test the OEM vented. Only the full non vented .Stock that came on my sled and the BDX light.

 

[lilrez]

Ah ok. Well it looks pretty if nothing else lol.

 

[lilrez]

Which compound is recommended? What about the locktite stick ?

 

[lilrez]

 

[Byam]

Locktight 635. Or 638 but you need to act faster

So, do we think the bearing is spinning on the shaft at all times? Or does it just start off under hard acceleration or hard braking?

I'll be checking mine soon. I'm on the fence about using bearing compound. I'd like to be able to get this bearing off someday.

It rotates all the time that TRACK is moving.

 

[geez150]

Yes I agree, once you look this bearing in place with compound or other methods, how does one plan to remove it? It was a slip fit design for a reason. With compound is just a little heat required to soften it up so removal of the bearing can happen?

FIRE!

Yes, apply some heat inside end of track shaft (it's hollow). That will soften loctite. Some build a puller that uses the same 3 bolt holes that hold the casting piece to the tunnel. Either way, it's not that hard to get off. I'd rather put up with having to get it off than having the track shaft destroyed and/or the brake rotor too.
