catchy huh...

I posted a pic up a while ago of the nice dual non-hop black marks I made after the axle install. The Econo Axle did eliminate my wheel hop w/ no other suspension mods whatsoever. I will forego all the details, but lets just say that the shop that I used had some installer error and Thomas from Hendrix Engineering stayed with me the entire way until my situation was fixed and done. If it had not been for a death in family, he was on his way to help with the follow up install.

He's a stand up guy, has a great product that he obviously believes in as he answered my calls and never left me hanging.

Thanks Thomas. I hope to be buying some other stuff sooner than later!:cool2:

+1 for Thomas, TRULY the best quality at the best price, and he doesn't use the competition's names in his web site title!

UPS is probably delivering one to his door tomorrow...I happen to know for a fact. Call him 980 521 0722 and make a deal!! Its one that he sent to me for backup but ended up being installer issue, not axle, its perfect. Don't waste time, call!!!

in the installers defense, they installed it like any other IRS or FWD axle they ever do. After many attempts it was discovered that this car/these axles have to be on its own weight to properly seat into the diff where its supposed to. Seems simple but they haven't had to do it that way on other cars.

Install it relaxed loosely, put it on the ground (or on its own weight on ramps to have room, then pry/press the axle into the diff so that you audibly hear the snap ring engage. Its obvious when it snaps in like it should.

This now explains why the axle kept pulling itself out of the diff and leaking. Since installing on its own weight...no leaky for me!!

Hi guys, new to this part of the forum and i wanted to know if anybody can tell me how much it cost's to get a set of these axles. I am in need of some serious upgrades for my rear and this seems to be the cheapest right now short of having something fabricated or buying madman's set up. i wanted to know if these will help the rear survive with some bolt on's and possible a poweradder. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you for your time.

I got mine for $300 + shipping(it's only one axle)...wheelhop is typically what kills the diff, and this stops that.

Thomas spends more time in the shop than online...he needs to hire a personal assistant to keep up w/ all this stuff! I believe this single axle swap, while not only eliminating the wheel hop that will explode your diff, will hold up to around 500hp...I think. Thomas w/ Hendrix also sells some pro-style axles that come in a pair and will hold far more than the diff will in HP I believe. Call Thomas (number is on here somewhere) and he'll fix you up. Seems like the pro axles were like $1800ish.
