So recently installed a spartan in my front axle and getting the normal clicky bang bang and just wondering how long to expect it to be this loud until it breaks in also my mechanic that installed it advised on getting an alignment. Is this needed or will the torque steer fade with the break in? any advise is appreciated.

 

oh yea and mechanic said he removed thrust washers and tolerances were in spec

 

Wat. Find a new mechanic. There shouldn't be any torque steer...

 

There can be torque steer due to the different length of the axle shafts, but an alignment won't cure it either.

 

I guess I should have asked if he meant in 2wd on the street. :P

 

I didn't think so

ya most of what i've read up on it says that the first couple hundred miles of break in there will be alot of popping and possible torque steer. seems like every day it gets a little better. just wondering how long it could take
