Default 10 bolt rearend help

I have a rear end that I hit a curb and bent my axle. I have a traction control with 3.73 gears. I wanted to know if I can upgrade axles and how do I find out what axles to get? I have a 99 Firehawk if that helps out. Someone please help me.

Tell them what you have and they will get you squared away.

Generally they break. But that's all 10 bolts. You're living on short time with that badboy.

You're one of the lucky ones... Some guys get their ten bolts to last forever. Most do not.

Auto cars dont **** the 10 bolts like the stick cars do. Thats the main difference, although I do know two stick cars that were night and day, one guy made it last launching on slicks at the track while other went through countless rearends on the street on street tires....

This is true man, but bottom line in the long run, putting money into a 10 bolt is like betting money on a cripple in a fight.
