Broke my axels...boo I guess they aren't as strong as I was hoping.
I know Driveshaftshop.com makes them and they are local to me and I know TTR carries their axels...are there any other options? 800.00 for axels hurts the wallet.
Stock axles are quite strong, they can take plenty of hp..... something else is an issue to why you are breaking them.
i doubt you are doing something else wrong. its just the car knows to take out the weakest link of the system which happens to be the axles. id rather replace axles than slip the clutch enough to pre-load the drivetrain to save the axles.
I was driving down the interstate at normal speed headed back home from a car show. Car has only been to the track once this year and that was back in february. My guess with the whp close to 275 now something had to give.
if they're gm axels there strong but aftermarket ones r weak as hell. if u broke a aftermarket set i would try some gm axels. u could prob get low mile used ones pretty cheap.
I broke the GM axels and they only had 66k miles on them.
There are plenty of 3800 swapped guys on stock axles, I am one of them.... hp isn't what will break axles, torque is.
did you physically SNAP the axle housing itself or just brake a cv joint?
were you're boots torn at all and exposed to the elements at all? were they full of grease?
Don't know what ya got til they take it away...
Isaak: my tq numbers are the same
Z yaaa: cv Joint is what broke the boots are not torn at all and the car is rarely exposed to outdoor anything.
Then I am stumped..... I bet if you throw in another axle, and determine that it isn't binding and is straight, it will not break.
I'm running Dutchman Motorsport shafts in my axles... but the CV's are from a Park Ave Ultra.
