lol...wow.
i would advice you to go get that fixed.
when you hear loud thumps like someone is pounding on your tunnell, somebody just drank some gummy berry juice.

over long periods of time, your shaft might wear in, or even better, there might be a driveshaft coming through your floor into the car.

make sure you have a helmet.

or if you are lucky enough, the shaft might fall in a great manner, tossing your car into the air causing a 360 forward flip.

ok. just go get it fixed.

the vibration form the shaft might cause other bolts to come loose around the rear drivetrain. i wouldnt recomend driving it like that too long.

figure as much =\.
sigh gotta part out my extra 5spd swap now >.>

oh dave! when is the next time u'll get a set of megan coilvs for s13

[v-empire]

we ve got a few more set up in megan warehouse. they were sold out about three weeks ago but a newershipment came in. whenever you are ready. it will be yours.


tip:
go easy on the two bolts that hold the driveshaft donut.
use wd40 and loosen it and also hand tighten until its in properly, before you impact it or tighthen it all the way.
they strip easy, the chassis side.
good luck.

The actual name for it is the "carrier bearing". Try to get a one piece aluminum driveshaft ftw! :goodjob:

that happened to me with my last car, just 5 miles of riding like that destroyed my tranny mounts as well. be careful, its not a very comfortable ride haha
