One of those axles was less than 1 month old before it went - Marti at raxles did a tear down, and sent me pics - you can really tell the wear is caused by being too low - the ruts that are worn into the joints make it obvious - it's not just a "wear and tear" issue.

How long have you had sprints on your car? Also it may be due to the boost you are running. Many Many factors here.

If you read any of my other threads, Wayne, you would know that I said MANY, MANY times that this axle problem only affects a few people. Some of those people are pretty much stock, just on Sprints. <no boost>

You get Sprints, you're taking a risk - period. It's probably a small risk, but still, a risk.

I got sick of taking that risk, that's all - if you're feeling daring, then by all means, enjoy the ride.

But if you have to pay $300 for new axles, don't come crying to me, that's all.

Done here. I might take the risk. I put sprints on my friends Sentra SE-R spec V today. It totally slammed it. He has about a finger gap from tire to fender. Still has the classic sprint "back alittle higher than front" even on the sentra. That might be axle problems. I need to take pics of my car right now with the kit on, I might not be good to ride sprints and a kit.
