Let me know the chassis number and I can send you the factory prints that show what work is required.

When this issue is present no amount of torque on the axle nut will prevent the issue. If you jack up the rear and grab the tire at 12 and 6 can you wiggle it up and down?
Seems like Superformance should have contacted owners of the affected cars when they discovered the issue, and supplied the necessary fix, instead of the owners having a failure and then having to pay to fix it.
