That should work, but you don't need to do all that. The suspension and body are stiff enough that even if the lift points are off-center, the lean won't be all that much.

Here's a video:...

That's too bad. Were they able to replicate the noise, at least?
How well does your e-brake hold? Have you tried going into reverse with the e-brake on, just to put load on it, but not to actually...

I haven't experienced ball joints making that kind of noise when they go bad. But then again, as a DIY'er I've probably have changed less than ten of them on difference cars. Not ruling that out,...

Yeah, it's definitely something that happens under load, so lifting it up won't reproduce it. That's why I was suggesting an oil change place with one of those pits. That is, if you know someone...

The other thing I can think of is something is going on inside the differential. Since it doesn't do it when it's jacked up, the only other suggestion would be if you have a friend at an oil change...

Then that pretty much blows my theory out of the water. Before you spend time taking things apart, have you tried putting it in reverse with the e-brake on and power-braking it? Just put some load...

Do the two clicking sounds repeat, or does it just do two times and stop? Looking at the valve stem as a reference, I noticed that the video cut short just before wheel did a complete revolution...

Ah so it's an RX7, not a Miata, as I originally thought. Pretty slick (or sick) LOL. I assume the Boxster engine was grenaded, but what was wrong with the body that you had to transplant another ono...

I like them too, and I wish I had them because they seem so much easier to clean than mine. Especially that damn brake dust.

That's definitely not a Boxster body, though.

And BTW that front...

Looks like a 90's Miata with Boxster seats and wheels. Look at the cut-outs in the hood for pop-up headlights. Or maybe a Boxster rolling chassis with Miata body parts. Also, I don't see any sign...

It's possible that they were swapped. I don't have mine nearby otherwise I'd measure for you to see which arm belongs where, but I'm guessing the shorter arm should go on the driver's side, with the...

Since it had generic blades, maybe you have the wrong arm, too. Or maybe the arms were switched? (assuming one arm is shorter than the other)

What were the measurements of the old blades?

Your biggest clue is the work done before you found it. It's probably off something they used to support the engine while the transmission was out.

I'm considering doing the same since my plastic window is so hazy I can't see a thing through it. Was it an ease unbolt and bolt on swap?
