    Howdy Y’all
    Just curious to know what your opinions are on front c/v axle options for my GG. Oem? Driveshaft Shop? Refurbished? Chinese? Also maybe switch to a sedan length? I read somewhere they work.
    Many of u know the Buggy’s stance in the summer (lowered in coils) however now I have stuck some 07 Fozzy suspension on for Minnesota purposes and was gifted a solid drivetrain noise after completion. Pretty sure they are my front inner c/v joins. They are what received the most change. I had it up on the lift with some light and these are not oem green Subaru axles...so what’s next? I want some on deck for when they give out.

    Also my winter and summer tire and wheel’s diameter are almost identical.

    Trans fluid clean

    Noise happens when drivetrain is cold and under load ( almost disappears at operating temperature)

    Nothing changes when turning

    Pull the shafts apart, check the inner cv guts/cups for signs of wear

    Hmm, interesting. I have been noticing the same issue. However, I'm almost positive that mine are green oem. Just recently put the struts on too.
