How many miles/ track days do you have on that car? I think you have posted that you have quite a lot. Even the s cant last forever.

Whatchu talking about Willis? The CR is FOREVER YOUNG! j/k.

I think he has about 93k miles on the ODO with 19-20 trackdays and quite a few mountain runs under the belt.

I think there's a theory that there may be too many offs on the car that bent the rear right knuckle which possibly put extra stress on the axle. I know Mike (psychoazn) was looking for a RR knuckle to replace his current one last week.

Had a great first visit to CVR, very fun track. Car was driving fine but on the way back I was getting a creaking sound that varied with speed coming from the rear, more pronounced under deceleration. Dropped the car off with Tony Fuchs today, he thinks it could be a wheel bearing or axles.

Ha no stoplight launches on my axles, but over 158K miles. Looks like I'll need to replace both axles and wheel bearings
