popping while turning.

[beason]

on my sc10, if i turn sharply i get a popping sound almost like a diff going out. but on the bench, i can spin one wheel, and the diff is smooth.

i have also checked my wheels and they are not stripped. does the sc10 come with a ball or gear diff?

any idea what the popping could be?

Have you checked for a worn drive cup?

i looked at them, but didnt inspect them really close. you think its drooping to far and the dogbone is slipping?

ill have to check into that.

That does make sense, the red washer are used to keep the dog bones.

ok its not a drive cup. they are not worn at all. seems to do it even worse in grass. and starting to do it when only turning a little.

maybe trans?

Check inside your diff. It's a gear diff, and sc10's tend to not be shimmed correctly from the factory. If you let it go you will lose a sun gear (but AE is aware and will replace it). Call AE and ask for a shim pack, that will fix your problem.

found it!! the dog bone is walking out of the outer cup at high rpm, and the ears are hitting the a arm. put a little fuel tubing in the upper cup and its all good.

i also filled the diff with 1k oil and checked it for damage. i added a thicker shim under one of the sun gears. i think its good.

Or you could get the du-bro 4-40 ball cup kit. It will never come off unless you break the screw

you got links to this kit? does it replace the shafts with cvd's or what?
