[s-cars] Driveline chatter-not fixed

[Mark Turczyn]

Sean/Sam---

Great to hear you both experienced the same trail of events--- Yeah 
Sean- soon as that extra height of the new Boge was in place the 
drive shaft really hammered under acceleration.

Looks like I need to pull it.

Sam--- (sounds like you may have already re-packed your CV)--- How 
high off the floor did you end up having to put the car-- all I have 
is large cast jack stands.

As to pulling the drive shaft===

I guess if I mark the position of the center bearing bracket I will 
be fine not having the straight Audi brace.

Sam- did you write up a procedure or did you find one in the forum. 
(Marc did you write one??--great pictures of the CV)

I searched but found nothing--but I must admit the new search engine baffles me

If I cannot find a write up I will try to take pictures but it will 
be hard on my back that close to the action.
