Default So will it be big enough to change my Half Shaft?

My CV joint is getting worse....now I remember it happening....on turn 4 at Mid-Ohio (the key hole) which is long 180 degree slow corner to the right....it sounded like something was loose in my left front suspension....funny, I changed everything on it!

Well, that was the begining of the CV joint demise.....at least I have a place to do it now....do you think it will be big enough?

Default sweet!

You moving this week? Weekend? All of the above?

Sorry to hear about the half-shaft. Do you have a replacement?

Default I bet there won't be that much room in there in 6 months!! ;-)

It will look like my garage in no time. Congrats, and the rebuilt half shaft should work great for you.

Default In 6 months it will look like Doug's...

With 2 cars, an antique in parts (maybe not the antique), and all of your tools collected from 20 friends.... You may need to build out to the yard and add an extra pad for all the performance work you will be doing. Ha! Congratulations on the new digs, I know you have been waiting patiently for the closing. Don't get discouraged if you have boxes sitting around for a few weeks. Take care of the important things first and enjoy your new home. PS -- get the half shaft replaced while you still have room.
