axle carnage pics...
axle carnage pics... y'all mighta seen my posts about grenading the rear end at the track in october - surprisingly, it wasnt the diff., it was the driver's side axle that was toast. take a look:
we've almost got her back together - well, she is back together, she's just got a bent caliper bracket that i need to replace. and yes, i'm saving for a dana or something else to replace the junk stocker... no hell-raising until thats done...

yea, i'm anxious to see what those KD's will do with a good rear end. but not until then - cant risk losing the diff too, lol! we went ahead and replaced the diff too, just in case - there was a very small hairline crack in the part that the axle slides into, the little ring looking thing on the diff that you can take off. so we werent gonna risk it. thats still the first AXLE i've seen break in a stock rear, though... (on a 4thgen, at least)...

yea, i was actually able to pull the car onto and off the trailer - i guess some of the larger pieces were binding it up enough to do a little load transfer to the tire. it wouldnt move at all when it first broke, but after sitting a few hours it would clunk like hell them lock up and move a little bit.
