Default Are My Front Axels Going Because Of Higher Hp??

Alright it sounds like my front axels are going. When Im at a stop light and then accelerate I hear a quick rattling type noise. Then I notice on only some turns I hear the same rattling type noise again. I have an 07 tc auto with a turbo kit on it but does the hp affect the axels to make them be replaced already with only 25000 miles on it?

sounds like the cv joints then. do you usually get on the gas hard coming out of a turn? if so then that is most likely what caused the problem. so my first piece of advice would be to stop doing that. as far as how much the repair part will cost, thats something you will have to research.

you hear it on both sides? i dont think repair is that much unless you need to replace the whole axle, i was quoted 500 for one axle by the dealer but I got a 70$ shipped from a junkyard

you can get reman halfshafts for around $80, but shouldn't these be covered under the powertrain warranty?

coming out of some turns i did go hard but rarely but im sure the times i did built up to it. ill call my dealership tomorrow to set up a day they can look at it and fix it. I just hear it on the right side though. I wish I knew how to change it myself but I aint experienced in that part

arent dealership will basically tell that because you are turbo car is not meant for that power ?
also, you really going to leave yout turboed tc at the dealer ? where techs would basically play with it for sure.

i know all the mechanics there, when my tranny went they replaced it with a brand new tranny no problems no questions asked. theres only one guy i let work on my car there so nobody else will touch it.

Thats cool then
Ohh and by the way i should be able to install my kit by the end of summer,
So after i'm all set maybe we can have a little fun in the way of few runs to compare our kits since we are not too far from each other.
