    no. all mine will do is bang a bit when you get on or off the gas i cant hear it over the 4inch ex feel it but it may. long as power is on it is ok so if this sounds like what yours is doing then it is ok

    ok found out what it was, broke the axel in half, have not even had the time to step on it! It must have to much power to the wheels.I was sold a 31 spine and was told it would stand up to 600hp, is this the motor or the rear end? if its the motor then i am looking for a 40 spine any 1 have 1?
