shadegt- "Hey, I'm just relaxing and waiting for my cvs to come in. I don't really care where this goes from here, but hopefully someone has an answer to your question."
Shade, since you are cool with however this goes... if you don't mind, I feel a brief explanation is in order. If for no other reason, to protect my credibility.
You were cool the whole way through this topic and pretty much ended up figuring it out and confirming it yourself. I hope its the solution for you.
At the time you posted this thread, I read it. Another member was also posting about making a driver from a couple 200 buck cars, earlier gen. My gen.
I almost posted a reply like this:
"Could it just be the ABS pump running due to a wiring or hub problem? That kinda makes a growling noise then the light comes on. Can you feel the vibration through the brake pedal?"
But by the time I decided how to word that and re-read the post... I realized you have an 07 which I know little of, and saw other members tending to your concerns. Your replies to them told me you probably know what the ABS pump feels like anyway...
So I passed on replying. After all, my experience is limited to two 99s and an 02. Plus whatever wrecked ones I fixed back when.
Later on, I saw there was a pause then Scotty came in and like I often do, fired a reply from a quick scan of the last post. No crime, no harm. Advice was heard.
I knew the next guys have experience too, but in hurriedly reading myself what was going on...
I confused shade with $200 car guy, and percieved a hole in the information given thus far plus potential personality conflicts, so I typed my thought.
My way-previous research about 99GT to GTP swapping was semi-relevant but I had committed a half-truth to memory from it...
My life was all RWD, FWD I'm still learning. It never occurred to me that the outer end could be common, shared between GT and P (of my gen) so when I learned awhile back about inner spline count-
I wrongly assumed outers follow suit, they do not. As the others have shown and told, and as you know... well we all know now, right? I'm on the same page now.
My experience with hubs and CVs is minimal, my background is in driver maintainence and pro bodywork so I'm not as lost as it seems. But I was lost in this thread.
My bad.
Shade I bet you get my drift, as do the others. If GPs were worth their snot, blown ones would have honkin big half shafts that can handle something, room for more tire, etc.
But they're regular cars and we're regular guys and none are perfect. FWIW I think every poster was helpful or at least as in my case, wanting to be.
Good to know we can all talk like men even though we act different.
kornhead- Thank you for the simple catch. I have not had much access to my PC this week, I swung and missed trying to keep up on a phone.
HighOctane, you're alright man. Thanks. Now I'm curious about the diameters.... preesh the clarity offered. Save it for a real need.
Slick, feel free to call me out on mistakes any time, I prefer to own them and make a specatacle of it like I'm doing now. I think I'm getting the hang of how you communicate lol. Until I have you cussing, I won't flinch or be butthurt if you tell it like you see it.
At least I've avoided being a total fvcktard (
in my mind now). Been a dusk til dawn week and I'm faded.
Good luck Shade. Hope everybody gets where I came from with the bad info I spewed.
