Stock Axle Load
Re: Stock Axle Load I broke my stock driver side axle saturday night but I was launching right at 6k and I trap around 120. Just to give you an idea of the power Im making and how hard I was launching. I only have about 7 hard launches on the car though.

My car is in the shop right now as I type this getting an axle replaced (spun it, but didn't break it). Only reason I think I didn't actually break the axle is that I bogged the motor on launch. If I didn't bog, it would've most likely tore it in two. And I have the TA Performance girdle. Didn't help. It may have helped save the bearings and/or the gears, but not the axles.
Well, correction, just got off the phone with the shop, and it looks as though the ring gear is warped also. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> This is the one and only time I'm fixing the stock setup. Time to start saving for the Moser 12 bolt. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
