dirtzuk 05-23-2009, 05:13 PM Has any one here seen one of these axles break ?... Ive ran a set HARD for well over a year now and they seem to be holding up great!.. however my buddy in his truck ( identical to mine same tires even ) just snapped one shaft.. and twisted the splines on the other, hes only had them in there for 2 months... were running 34X9 swampers.. lockers up front stock sj cases and 1.3L's ... im hoping they were just a shitty set Crab Bait 05-23-2009, 05:36 PM my three 'drivers side' breakages where at the Birfield bearing cages splitting open during turning on 37's w/spool diff. :mr-t: dirtzuk 05-23-2009, 06:10 PM 37's.. nice.. got any pics of ur rig? what you runnin for a rear axle? Crab Bait 05-23-2009, 10:13 PM I changed over to a Chevy 44 front and a dually 12-bolt rear. :mr-t: CRAB TRAP (http://crabbait1httc03.spaces.live.com/) dirtzuk 05-25-2009, 04:36 PM cool rig.. so any body else have any damage on these axles to report?.. this is the rig that snapped one http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v455/trev_guy/DSC01958.jpg KaptainK 05-25-2009, 09:00 PM While running a local comp. a friend of mine broke two shafts in under 15 mins, both broke at the splines. The rig was on 33 baja claws, locked http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content/topic,98112.msg1012086.html#msg1012086 mad4dirt 05-25-2009, 09:42 PM a guy i wheel with twisted his it kinda looked like an hour glass. He is running 1.6l and 32X9.5 tsl's. supazuk94 05-25-2009, 11:06 PM although i have never run them from what i've seen and heard it depends on the driver and how hevvy the rig is. its just like anything they are far better than stock but nothing won't break aussiejoeblow 05-25-2009, 11:14 PM Has any one here seen one of these axles break ?...

Gwagensteve 05-27-2009, 02:27 AM We've had a few sets of various series of DT's running here in Aus and they've all been fine on 34 9.5's, 35 13.5 krawlers and Q78 swampers, all front locked, all with gears, and in situations where stock CV's break easily. I can't comment on every terrain and every combination of tyres/gearing but I wouldn't build a car without them. I know it's possible to break anything, but we've been happy. Steve. | |
