did you end up getting the one you showed me?

 

Yup, should be here in about 10 days

 

nice

 

yea, cost me 290 with shipping, should take me about a hour to uninstalled old and install new when it gets here

 

better make that 2 lol. remember last time we tried doing an exhaust in under an hour lol. granted this time there room under the vehicle haha

 

this is literally unclip 2 hinges and take one clamp off, pull and replace.. haha

ill make sure i have an extra hour just in case tho haha

 

extra beer drinking time come on get with it man lol

 

thats why i said "in case" as in "in a case of beer"

 

iseewutudidthur hahahahahaha

 

LOL do what i can :P

 

Looks like I botched the axle install. I fixed my intercooler pump so I decided to go for a spin to see low iat2s lol. Punched the gas and boom and now it won't move. I'd say it's for sure the axle popped out as it probably wasn't seated correctly but now its extra squeaky when u try to move the car.... Ugh I never should have touched it lol

 

How could it pop out..

Did you push it all the way in? Did you check for a broken axle yet?

Joel

 

Yep. Axle was not broken. But when u twist it it's really squeaky. I'm just praying it's not a tranny issue

 

The car would still go in gears but it would squeal like a bitch. Same with pushing it. It would squeak. Leads me to think trans is fine since it was in neutral while I was pushing it

 

Does it do it with the clutch pushed in? In Neutral the input shafts still spin with it in neutral I believe.

Vid?

Joel

 

Clutch in I think it still made horrible noise. Cus it would do it when I started the car up.

 

weird...

are you sure it's from the transmission side?

I believe those use a small clip to retain the axle in place - otherwise it's purely space constraints and the nut on the opposite end of the axle holding it into the hub which keeps everything hunky-dory...

if you need me to bomb up there just give me a call...

 

you have to make sure it clicks in, the drivers side can be decieving and make it look like it goes in, i find putting a dab of grease on the retainer to hold it centralized works and then rotate while pushing until you see it go in all the way, it can feel but by looking at it you can tell its still out an inch. let us know and take a pic, i will be able to tell you right away if its not in far enough

 

I just had it towed to a shop. It needs an allignment and a new catalytic converter welded in anyways.

 

Yesterday I saw a sexy balt on Stoney trail heading north- then eastbound and exiting on Harvest Hills blvd which happened to be my exit as well. I had after he passed me and I'm sure I read S L O B A L T on the trunk lid. I spotted a cobaltss.net decal as well. Anyways, nice ride!

 

yea, hes been on here a while.. he is slobalt on here

 

Ugh. $900 mistake putting the axle in wrong... Fml

Jonathon. I will not be down to get my tune this weekend since the car is staying at the shop until parts arrive from the states.

 

what the hell did u do??

 

Stripped the axle and the intermediate shaft on the passenger side.

 

*facepalm*

ooh jeez
