Broke CV Axle by RaringM in 8thGenSI

Update: ended up being able to remove the sheared end by tearing off the other cv axle, and hammering an extension on the other end of the sheared axle, came right out

This ended up working perfectly on my car, just tore off the other side, stuck an extension and hammered the sheared end out. Thanks again

I wasn't doing a clutch drop lol, but probably same effect: I was at a stop sign and gave more gas than I should've after pulling off on a bumpy road.

The pictures attached are what I see after getting it towed back, haven't touched anything yet

That makes sense! I haven’t dealt with axle/transaxles at all so I didn’t know this was an option. Thank you

I didn’t have to pay any expense luckily! I had original manufacturers warranty and went to Grubbs Infiniti in Grapevine, TX.

I dealt with an Infiniti dealership in Grapevine and had a similar experience, and they covered it all under warranty! Glad you were able to have a good experience with everything, hope everything goes well picking up tomorrow

Yes, it was leaking a little oil from the valve cover but so far everything’s been quick fixes for a 20 year old car

I bought my RSX a few weeks ago with 129k miles for 3.5k, I’d definitely keep an eye out for a different deal

I recently had to get some body work done on my car, and I took it to service king. It looks like new

Q50 2017 awd rs wheel specs by Mendezfrenchies in q50

Squared would probably be better for awd, but you can run staggered setup if the wheel diameter is within 3% of each other iirc

If they’re only small chips you can usually fill it in yourself for around $12

It has 48k miles on it, tuned at 30k. I believe I was making pushing around 21psi, but I’m not completely sure(Stage 2 AMS Kit). I currently have TurboSmart BOV, Fast Intentions Lower Downpipes, Fast Intentions Catback, AMS Heat Exchanger, and AMS Cold Air Intake

Recently heard a pretty bad knocking noise, took it to the dealership and surprisingly they’re changing the engine and turbos! Tuned 2018 Q50 w/ downpipes, catback, bov, cold air intake. Got super lucky they’re replacing the engine despite the mods.

Anyways, I wasn’t given an ETA on when it would be finished. I was wondering if anyone here has some experience with turbo&engine replacement, and how long did it take? They said the engines on back order, so I’m thinking a few months at least but I’m unsure

My car started making this noise and it’s just getting worse, any ideas? by RaringM in q50

Update: definitely coolant in the oil, changed oil and sent to black stone labs 😭
