Default All those w/ a spool, come in...

Last night I picked my car up from the shop, I had a spool installed. Now when I make turns I'm getting a clunking noise which sounds like something is loose, but my buddy Pete just checked all the bolts and everything is tight! Is this noise normal? I am aware of the spool making both tires spin equally, but the noise concerns me? Anyone have any ideas?

Hey Mike,
I feel it is normal. My 66 ElCamino does it also, you just can't hear it cuz the motor <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I think it is the space between the gears and splines on the axles moving back and forth due to the outside wheel turning faster then the inside wheel . I could be wrong. Ask Chris Pippy he has one in his 12 bolt! How is the car coming by the way. What size dose of spray are you planning on?

Later,
Glenn

Mike,

I think that maybe something is wrong.(remember I said maybe, Iam no expert). I do not have any clicking at all in the Hot Rod. Now my 5.13's our very loud but not my spool. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

If I were you, I would give Madman(Brian) a call and ask him. He is a great guy, no matter what everyone else tells ya! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Good luck to ya. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />
