    Noise from rear after installing M226

    Fluid looked good. I’ll check play in the morning. Also got it up on jack stands and up to 25mph no noise. Definitely just under load. When I hooked up the front driveshaft to the diff I noted the yellow paint mark on the flange and matched that to the yellow on my driveshaft. It was at that...

    Noise from rear after installing M226

    No change doing hard left or right turns. Only above about 20mph and only when accelerating or braking. Coasting the noise goes away. The audio isn’t great due to wind noise and road debris, but you can kinda hear it I think around the 0:30 mark in this video. View...

    Noise from rear after installing M226

    I was hoping the noise not being there at the same speed but coasting would mean it’s not that. I’ll swerve around on the way home to see if it changes when I shift left or right.

    Noise from rear after installing M226

    It was out of a running 2008 manual S with 196k. The frame had bad rust and something had eaten the wiring harness, so the guy used it as a donor engine for a better body then parted out the rest. Axle had some surface rust and the dust shields were rusted to almost nothing, but that’s not...

    Noise from rear after installing M226

    M226 install went fine into my 2015 S but I noticed that at about any speed, there’s a low-pitched warbling noise coming from the rear. It’s very hard to explain but sometimes when you put just one rear window down and get that pulsating low frequency - kind of like that. I’m fairly sure I...

    The Dumb Question Thread

    Yeah if I’d realized that I’d have probably done the diaper skid instead of the cover. Oh well.

    The Dumb Question Thread

    Is it normal for the drain plug to stick down so low on the M226? It’s torqued to spec and from an 08 (though maybe I should check the 08 FSM just to be sure). On my C200 it was completely recessed and protected. And was also longer.

    What have you done for your X?

    M226 is in. Swapping the front diff tomorrow if I’m able to move.

    Ah, thank you. That makes sense.

    The Dumb Question Thread

    When are "limit straps" necessary? Certain brand of shocks that don't have integrated bump stops? Certain weight and type of wheeling?

    Shock Length?

    You know, on this topic, there is zero reason people at Z1 or AllDogsOffroad can't grab one of each shock off the shelf, put them on a table, and measure them and do a comparison. It's really frustrating that people that claim to be experts have the ability to find this information within...

    The Dumb Question Thread

    Anybody know what the difference is between the flange bolts for 08-11 and 12-15? In my case, I'm connecting a 2015 driveshaft to a 2008 diff, so I'm not sure which to pick. I did reach out to Z1 and ask but figured somebody here might know.
