The most ironic part of the whole swap, swap, swap thing was that MONTHS ago, I told him I had no clue what was wrong & he should talk to Ryan Davis at Southern States. He said something about not wanting to pay somebody to fix it & he was basically just going to start replacing parts and see if it would go away. (not exactly what he said, but that's how I heard it
) After all that time, money and effort with no fix, he called me and asked if he could borrow one of the front axles and the driveshaft from my 2.5RS. This was a week and a half before the championship rallyx in VA.
(you can probably guess what my answer was) I told him I would check around and see if I could find him an axle that somebody had as a spare. After not hearing from him for a few days, I went to pick up my lightweight bumper beams at SStates, and while I was there, I told Ryan about what Brian's car was doing. He said it sounded like a front axle was busted. So... HE GAVE ME ONE that was lying next to his tool box, and said if it worked, they could work out the payment whenever.
Moral of the story: if you have no clue what the problem is, you should probably get an expert involved asap, instead of throwing money and time at the problem hoping it will go away.
