On mine it would be hard to detect new marks on the driveshafts because the brake ducts are always touching. :happy2:

Today I got more bad news.
I went to do a wheel alignment and I've bought some MB Vito endlinks to change there. We did a full inspection of points of impact, we found nothing. After, we removed the adjustable endlink and nothing changed. The guy who usually does my wheel alignment told me that he thinks it a problem with the shock. Told me to put my hand on the wheel and he balanced the car. I could feel the knocking/clunking even with the endlink off. :sad1:
At this point he told me that it could be something wrong with the front left shock. I got the car back to my mechanic, where I installed the AST. I hope he's got some time these days to check the left shock, and Install MB Vito endlinks just to be sure, everything else seems fine. :sad:

Sad to know the issue with the front shock. Should be covered by the warranty, right? :sad1:

Hey! Yes it is, but...I was hoping to have a good car for the 29th March time attack race. I'm still in with DSG and software/boost problems, sending the shock to AST in Netherlands and getting it back will take ages.
Still need to install the rear wing, front splitter, bonnet and fender vents and do some tests. I'm hoping that such an expensive piece cannot fail in 10 km of usage. Maybe it's something else, I'm waiting for some feedback from the mechanic now. :sad1:
UPDATE: I've just got a phone call from the mechanic. He said that after playing with the adjustment knobs and hardening a bit the shocks, he balanced the car with the hand on the wheel is gone. He will install Vito endlinks and we'll see what happens.
Shoduchi:
Good news! Hope it's all fixed now! :party:
