|  Wraith squeaks
I noticed that my wraith is squeaking quite a bit as the wheels turn. I'm not exactly sure where it is coming from. My thoughts were either the drivelines or possibly the axle. Anyone else have this problem? Do you need to keep your stock drivelines lubed? I have yet to check the oil level in the axle housing, if that is low, what is recommended for the best lube  |

Most likely it's the driveshafts, same thing on mine, don't lube them. There's grease in the diffs, not oil. They are probably ok, gook luck with it.

I lube all the links & driveshafts with powdered graphite (dry) & it cut down the squeaks on mine. Those VP VVD's are on the list for round 2 when I go 3s. |

Axial uni's: Weak ~ if you dont end up busting em, they stretch at the joints/pins which end up resulting in more play. Appearance ~ Great that these come as an option for the Kit, but just aint perty!! lol Steering radius ~ As far as i can see....the knuckles come right to the axle L/R, so???? VP VVD CVD: Strong as BeefCakE! Sexy as Hell! Turning radius ~ Not sure, but how much more steering can you get when the knuckles hit the axles turning both L/R?? |

So I'm going to try and lube the drivelives and the axle ends, I see on here to use powdered graphite? Any other lube that works better....I have KY  |
