I was under the car tonight and noticed a small crack in the rubber at two of the guibo bolts. Total of two. They are barely noticeable.

Should I replace it now or can it go a while? I'm planning to go to the track this coming weekend and will put about two hours total on the car.

I haven't felt any shaking or vibration at take-off. I have noticed a very small rumbling after coming out of the throttle at high speeds. I just changed the diff so I'm thinking that it might be that. It seems to be coming from the rear and I noticed it right after installing the diff. A BMW mechanic/friend seems to think it's the diff although he knows nothing about the small cracks in the guibo.

I have spent the past couple of nights replacing the radiator, re-doing the seat back brace, and generally getting the car ready. The new windshield is going in Tuesday. I'll do the guibo if I have to but I'd rather do it later.

Thanks,

Carter
