    Have you noticed any axle bind? Broken any axles yet? How long has it been happening?

    Ever since I installed my Tein lowering springs, I can feel my axles binding when I accelerate. It's a pretty common problem when you lower any vehicle, I was just wondering if anyone else has this issue? I'll be inspecting my axle boots every few weeks for tears or damage, but I'm not too worried.

    None that I've encountered. I enjoy throwing mine into corners with the redone suspension.. I've had mine pretty low also...

    What are you feeling that you attribute to axle-bind?

    Feels like resistance when I accelerate, I can feel a vibration that directly correlates to the amount of acceleration. Looking into a 3rd gen control arm spacer to correct the issue
