Dude you are slammed. You are going to break axles, period. If you are slammed so severe that you KEEP breaking them, I wonder how the drive is. Pics?

I replaced both of my axles.
One was a rebuilt OEM one (stupid I know!)
the other was an aftermarket one from ebay. The build quality of the aftermarket one is so much better compared to OEM. The entire thing is designed different and it appears better parts were used.

^ you very rarely hear someone say an ebay item is of better quality than OEM. I have not experienced this part but proceed with caution. Aviation may not be 100% on that. Also, I thought I read a while back about raxles having the part for our cars.

Plaincrash, you really need to stop "helping" people. Your retard is showing.

On another note, you could always cut down some broom sticks and use those. Most likely better than ebay drive shafts anyway.

Looks like Planecrash is spreading like a virus here in the Org...

OP, if you want to stop replacing your broken axles with every oil change, lift up the front one inch as suggested.
