oh yea i didnt get this part :

Same pressure diff. ends. But that's my opinion

**TJsBimm** · 10-28-2005, 10:09 PM

trying to give my honest opinion thats all, as I said all corners are going to be almost the same pressure on the cv joints(FWD or RWD)......so whether acceleration or cornering that might be the problem. Good luck noises in our cars suck@!

**defkon99** · 10-28-2005, 10:18 PM

damn !, so now to get the problem fixed. should i just buy some cv joints+boots and get um done anyway see if it fixes it?

anyone got a Pn and a DIY? or maybe know where they seel some good aftermarket joints ?

The final drive differential bolts are NOT a good thing to have backing out. If you have a LSD, you have to worry about this. If you have an open differential (pegleg, heh) then that is so infrequent that it isn't a concern.
Most all 325s do NOT have LSD's but it was an option. If you've ever done a burnout and had only one wheel spin isntead of both, you don't have an LSD (or your LSD clutches are worn to hell)

Check the CV's & re-seat the e-brake

To re-seat the e-brake, put the car in gear in reverse and back up, keeping the engine at about 1k rpm (just barly any throttle), then pull the e-brake firmly to re-seat the shoes. It dosn't take much, but you need to pull it up well enough to where it would stall the engine if you weren't giving it that tiny extra bit of throttle. Just 1 second's worth is good enough.

but i dont have shoes i have Disc all around.

see the caliper in my sig

**bitcore** · 10-28-2005, 10:36 PM

TRUST ME. If you take your rear wheel off, and then remove the disc retaining bolt, you will see shoes with a cable, spring, and bolt that clamps them to the drum portion of the disc. Unles your car didn't come with an e-brake at all, you have them.

look at this: TMS
Notice how it dosn't look like a flat frisbee? The e-brake is in that cylender that extends from the center of the rotor and clamps down on the inside of it.

edit: You sillyhead!

Go on turner motorsports on the list is clearance, click on that and scroll down the list. There's a halfshaft(cv joint) will fit either left or right side. $149.00 US,

They're referring to your e-brake (parking brake). The shoes are located inside/behind the rear disc rotors.

**bitcore** · 10-29-2005, 11:01 PM

It happens frequently with my car almost anytime I use the e-brake, just whenever you ar clutching to back up for whatever raeson, tap the e-brake handle a bit. It really dosn't take much, esp. if they are adjusted properly.
