[QUOTE="shooterAMG, post: 848759, member: 7544"] So the IWE uses what I would call a "helical" spring to stay engaged onto the hub splines. It's a relatively easy process to replace/inspect. If you're under warranty, it's a no brainer. IMHO, I think IWE are getting blamed for times that the front wheels are bound up and the front diff finally gives up and allows a tire to slip, along with the popping sound. I had the EXACT same thing happen during the SnoBall pre-run. I spent time and money to have it torn apart and replaced and saw no wear or issue only to have the exact same thing happen. That's why I think the behavior I'm seeing, and it looks like you may be as well, is actually the front diff slipping. Check out the [MENTION=62]BigJ[/MENTION] post on a replacement Front Diff. Might give you some insight into how our open diff is supposed to work.
