Default Gator Stage 3 axles....CV joints clicking and they are new? :/

Just wondering has anyone had this happen with the gator stage 3's...the passanger started clicking like a week or 2 after we put them in. Took it out and then heard the driver side clicking too :/


They had maybe 2k miles on them....3 passes at the track without slicks and without launch it hard...everything else was dyno runs (while tuning) and me breaking in the new motor on the highway.

I'm in the process of sending them back to gator...see what happens but for the money I spent on these things I'm truely disappointed.

Your setup has ALLOT to do with your axles.
What I am asking is:
How low is your car?
If lowerd do you have a camber kit?
What motor mounts if not stock?
What kind of power are you making? All Motor or Boosted?

So did they tell you what was up with the axles?

I never said it didnt have anything to do with them....what I was asking is what ABOUT my setup do you wanna know.

Dont know how "low" it is...it's on APEXI WS coilover
No camber kit (on my to get next list)
HASport motor mounts (2 sides and rear)
it made 491 on c16, 403 on pump, it's boosted...

I haven't had the axles in at the track for them to have gone bad at the track which is why I didnt understand why you wanted to know my "setup" of any kind. The car made about 30 passes on the dyno...1 trip to Dallas (to get dyno'ed) about 187 miles. 1 trip to a car show in BR round trip (about 400 miles)

All in all the car didnt have more then 2k miles on the axles with no track usage and they were both clicking :/
