Ah yes, friction ftw.
Quote:
Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of two surfaces in contact or a surface in contact with a fluid (e.g. air on an aircraft or water in a pipe). It is not a fundamental force, as it is derived from electromagnetic forces between atoms and electrons, and so cannot be calculated from first principles, but instead must be found empirically. When contacting surfaces move relative to each other, the friction between the two objects converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, or heat. Friction between solid objects is often referred to as dry friction or sliding friction and between a solid and a gas or liquid as fluid friction. Both of these types of friction are called kinetic friction. Contrary to popular credibility, sliding friction is not caused by surface roughness, but by chemical bonding between the surfaces.[1] Surface roughness and contact area, however, do affect sliding friction for micro- and nano-scale objects where surface area forces dominate inertial forces.[2] Internal friction is the motion-resisting force between the surfaces of the particles making up the substance.

All I know is I did a quick burnout right when I got my car and I heard some clicking coming out of the driver's front side of the car. Once I looked at it I realized that I needed a new CV joint.

Dance puppets Dance!!!!

I knew this was going to get mixed feeleings.

My opinion on the matter is that, the only stress that is going to harm the car would be the inital movement to get the tires to break loose and thats about it. when your done doing the burnout let the e-break off so the car can pull itself forward and ease off the throttle.

As far as the clicking on your car when you do a burnout, that sounds like there was already a problem in the joint. I would get it looked it.

I love it when I can FINALLY get those pesky back tires to break loose and spin.

There was no clicking before and right after there was. I got it fixed right away.

Okay...correct me if im wrong...but isn't doing burnouts what causes the diff to explode? haha, well not "explode", but you know...blow a hole in the side of the casing, good stuff like that? I mean, im just assuming there is a REASON why they make an HD diff, stronger input shaft, etc. as opposed to running a stock 4t65e into the ground

Doing a "one wheel Charlie" burn out is what does the damage or harms your diff.

Always good to have a spotter at the track to flag you if your only spinning one wheel.

I have learned with my car, right when I burp the throttle and start my burn out at the track I will turn my steering wheel slightly to the right, and hold it there to insure both front wheels are spinning. If I leave the wheel straight, the the right front wheel stops. Thats not good on it.

It doesn't have to be a one wheel burnout. All it takes is one wheel spinning much faster than the other (and that can happen even if both are spinning since there's nothing to regulate them).

In my car, I don't do burnouts just for the fun of it.

burnouts only show a lack of traction (at the track it's intentional for a purpose on the street it looks stupid)
