Did you double and triple check everything? Not that I think that you are dumb, but are the axles the right ones and hooked up the right way? Is there Tranny fuild in the tranny? Is it an Auto or Manual?

its a manual, the only thing that i can think of is that the axles look slightly crooked, but i did double check everything. also i think that the motor mounts might be wrong, causing to much pressure on the axles. but i need someone w/ more expertise to help me out.

If you can post pics of your setup (as many as you can, trying to show the mounts and everything) I know that will help some of the smarter guys figure this one out. So rry I couldn't help. Good luck.
