Thumbs up John not to bust your guy but???

shelby racer John I as sure your guy can fix it with a little work and some new parts. IMO NO!!!! The stuff was loose to start. This is not your fault. If one side is in question what about the other? They may give you problem about the removal of the parts from the car. I hope you have a video of it. When you get in touch with them, Suggest them they send one of there tech to check the problem. With 400 miles there should be little damage to the parts depending on how much play was with the bearings, hub, and spindle. I have a chassic cobra manual and this set looks NOTHING like the one in the book. If you keep this car for a couple of years, and this problem happens or something breaks, I doubt that CSI is going to stand behind this problem and blame it on you because of mileage and time gone by. They will use the Abuse and Race Issues. We have this problem with ZO6 owners. You get 1 free clutch and rearend assembly. After that you are on your own. People come in with 3K miles and the rear tires are bald. I don't know what happened to the tires, Bad Alignment?? We check this first. Up in the frames where people don't know where to look, we fine a 1/2 pound of tire rubber. Gee how did this happen?? Rep from GM comes down and said ABUSE, you pay. End of story. $5,000 dollars later and the car is on the road. We get blowers and twin turbos on these cars and they come in with a bad clutch and still get one for free. GM will work with you to a point. Fight them now for the new parts. This battle is already started. Finish it one way or the other but get new parts for the right side at least. Just my 2 cents John. They know they have a problem. They are trying to get out from under it without fixing it. Rick L.
