Who would I contact to get one of my posts listed in the "tech tips"? Not that I think I am some kind of technical writer guru, but the rear popping seems to be a pretty common problem and this procedure has solved the problem time and time again.

No One !!!!

If you notice there has not been a tech tip added after 2004. I have several tech tips that needed to be edited. I've contacted everyone I know but to no avail... There is no one home... I was told well over a year ago that they are working on getting a moderator to over see the tech tips section... I even offered my services...
So Good Luck, and BTW Nice write up

So does this write up need a title?
Was it for noise or what was the purpose?

the noise was a ticking/knocking that came from the rear axle when accelerating/decelerating at low speeds (at least that was when you were able to hear it). not really a safety or performance issue, more of an annoyance factor.

from the keyboard of savewave..
My impression is that the tech tips are not compatible with the current version of the software, meaning that it's not possible to make changes or additions until that conflict is addressed.
hopefully the techs will figure it out soon
