Circuit ECX Right Rear Drive Shaft

[Thomas1429]

Hey everyone,

Recently, when driving my Circuit ECX around, my right rear axle will vibrate and shake my entire car. The shaking is much more noticeable when I am going half throttle compared to flat out. I took apart the rear of my car and tried spinning the wheel manually and it still was shaking. Do you have any recommendations on how to assure its my drive shaft and not the bearing that's causing this issue?

okay

check rim and tire also if it has a hub bearing replace
2 wheel bearing I see in manual.

remove the bearings and it will be obvious if a bearing has failed

remove the shafts and roll them on a table to see if any are bent

do the same for any suspension pins which are also prone to bending

Good Luck!
