My SSR: 2006 Slingshot Auto #23320 Final Production Run Build Date: 2-16-06
Dennis Reinhart Driveshaft
I had Dennis replace my driveshaft with a Dynotech driveshaft about a year ago or so. I have noticed the dreaded tink again when putting in reverse. Anybody else?
Crawl under your SSR with the Transmission in Park with rear wheels on the ground.
Grab the Drive line with both hands and try to turn it forward and reverse. This will reveal where the noise is coming from. Possible CV C's or Differential wear. Watch both ends of the Drive shaft. Also try to wiggle it up and down and watch for loose universal joints "CV C's" If you have only had this Drive shaft for a year it may be under a guarantee. This procedure should tell you what you need too know to repair the Drive line
