Hmmm $1500 for manual in my beat A$$ R or $1500 into suspension and brakes on the M3.. This one has all the right moves but a 6 speed is the next logical step.

Seriously, come to Troy for a few days and we'll knock it out ASAP. The M66 makes it so much more enjoyable to drive. 2 hours ago, babyclaude said: Come to Troy, NY, where we can swap your wagon in a couple days. It's like we've done this before.... Yeah, because we need more autos to pile in the shed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyb5 Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 A while back I blew up an axle doing donuts and replaced it with an aftermarket axle from FCP. The inner boot on that axle ripped, and me ignoring it killed the inner CV joint. So I bought the replacement axle from Advance Auto Parts - it's a new axle, not reman'd; since I got it for $60, I figured I'd give it a shot and see how the quality is. I had to use a hydraulic press to remove the old axle from the wheel bearing. So while the bearing itself wasn't worn out, I wasn't installing a new axle in a messed up hub so I put a new FAG bearing hub in as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy. Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ha you said FAG. Sorry been drinking again. Used those on my dad's xc all kosher for many thousands of miles. I always find your thread when I've been drinking... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHN_CENA Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 let me know how the new axle is and if there are any weird vibrations. Pretty sure I toasted the CV joint on mine too, and I am not gonna shell out $600 for a new axle from volvo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put one of those (From Advance Auto) in my Mom's S70 AWD last week :) Look pretty solid. The outer shaft is thicker than the auto Volvo version.

andyb5 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Test fit some OZ Ultreleggerra's that Matt had taken off his C30. They're 18x8, et+38. The tires are 225/45/18, so they're taller than the stock OD. Spokes clear the calipers by basically nothing. They do clear, but I'd run a 5mm spacer with them to be safe. It was in on the lift because I hard started to feel a strange (yet familiar) vibration when turning right. Opened the hood to confirm my transmission mount had snapped the same bolt as last time Unlike last time, I haven't done anything to provoke this one. I fucking hate this car sometimes. Guess I'm going to remake that bracket, because even though it'll take 2 minutes and $0.50 to repair, it's sure as hell really annoying to have this as a recurring issue.

TIZIO AKA 1 HND MEC Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Welcome to the magic OZ world Andy! Add a pass side shock absorber to help that little bolt hold the whole engine /tranny from tilting back!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
