DanaS60 4 bolts to keep in axle??
So I just installed my new Danas60 onto my car and have a question about it. The axles on the s60 don't have c-clips to lock each axle in but instead just have 4 bolts on each housing end to keep each axle from coming out. My question is are these 4 bolts strong enough to keep an axle in with hard launches(spraying 150-200 off the line) in a car packing like 550-600 hp? My dana didn't come with these bolts so I used the bolts off my 10 bolt would these be able to handle this much stress on them? Just rather ask about this than have an axle fly out with the tire and everything down the track!

Your fab 9" is the same or what? I woulda figured these rearends to have the extra lock(c-clips or somethin) to help secure these axles better since they're for drag racing!

That's exactly why I'm asking guys cuz I woulda thought that these rearends would have extra precautions to re-enforce the axles n rearend as a whole(n not just the 4 bolts but if you say they're strong enough so be it)!
