I'd check all the heat shields on the exhaust.

2G DSM Factory Service Manual for Chassis, Body, & Powertrain w/ Bookmarks

I'll skip to the conclusion and tell you what they'll tell you: if you want to keep stock gears and have some longevity, dial back your power goal to 450 hp max and never touch that 600 level. If not, it's a PAR or PPG gear set, which will total...

This is why I didn't mention it earlier. The LCA's are front end suspension parts. Have you checked/replaced them?

When I did the bushings on the front I found that the rear pin was rotted out like the ones in this thread. (Mine weren't quite this bad but they were loose and rusty) https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/1g-lower-control-arm-rusted.410071/I...

I posted this on DSM Talk on Saturday after I built these but forgot to post this on here (don't come on to Tuners very much)Sourcing through the GVR4 forums I found this old thread relating to building rear upper camber control arms...
