Well of course it has to wear against something. I just find it surprising to see the slider taking the brunt of the wear, and not the brass. The gearset has already been swapped out, gotta pay to play. Just disappointing for under 5000 miles.
If the hub and slider are "just the victim", why do the syncho and gear teeth itself look fine? In your scenario one or both should also show more wear. The only damage is on the slider
Also, if the teeth on anything are rounded off, you will have to replace the whole gearset. You cannot buy...
So our 2018 started having intermittent issues engaging second gear as early at ~800 miles. The vehicle is at roughly 5000 miles now, and since we were pulling the transmission anyways to install an OSGiken LSD, we decided to take a closer look at what was going on.
The magnet was surprisingly...
Thanks for the data point, based on your location I'm guessing your benchmark is Cashmore.
I understand the nexens may be a touch slower, but there have been some wins at the national level on the tires, and the one time I've driven them on a STS car I liked them quite a bit. You can always...
Sounds like a bit of an apples and oranges comparo
Not to sound like I want to be spoon fed, but link to said test? I always prefer real data to heresay. Even where there is real data, I like to gather more myself if possible. Of course it's hard for me to test anything right now with snow on...
Do you say that because the nexen is regarded as having a relatively soft sidewall? Most of the complaints about that seem to have come from owners of camber challenged strut cars.
