all those are power failures; as for just wear and tear, the bearings inside wear out creating play. thats where the clicking comes from

I have a 87 CRX 1.5 and the axle sheared at the spline inside the hub, interesting ride from there on. Probably from a previous incident, prior.

I would have to agree ive been pushed off twice, stg 2 DSS axles, both times driver side axle, ringd them both off at hub, movin up to stg 3s, but i believe im still goin to have problems, since i was not makin 400 and they suppose to support 400, o well, more money pissed away

DSS Not to happy with them but not many other choices
