Axle angle Options

[partwerks]

From my trans to my wheels, my axles go uphill at a 10 degree slope. Is that too much?

They angle forward a bit also, but it don't appear to be that much.

Based on what I see, you have a compound angle like I had. With my Boxster tranny my axle stubbs would "walk" out after 150 miles. The car would have no forward or reverse motion until the stub was hammered back into the tranny.

The stubs are held in with a $1 circlip (Porsche Dealer). They did not have enough tension to hold back against the tug from the suspension movement. You can try an O ring, thin one under the circlip.

In my case I realigned the the drivertrain to shift everything forward until it aligned straight but remained lowered. No more problems.

Not sure which Boxster tranny you have or if your stubs are held in the same. Unbolt the CV and see if there is a big bolt head under it. If not, yours are held in by the same circlip.

I have the 5 speed Boxster trans.
