For some reason my axles broke (clicking when turning) after 3-4 months of riding dumped, i dont know if its exact cause, but it made me wonder, could maybe going over speed bumps dumped break axles? i always had to go through speed bumps after work... im getting another new set of axles soon, and this time i am trying to prevent it from breaking, any ideas how/why?

my car is tucking tires and i have not to much problems with axles. I do replace them a few times when the axle boot was torn. I just go to autozone and get it replaced for free.

If your car is supercharged or turboed you may need axles that can handle the extra power.

Youre breaking axles or CV joints? The extreme angle of the joints when your dumped wears them out. And if youre slamming axle shafts on the frame then it could break them.

I don't mean to steal your thread, but what are the problems that will effect your car if you ride dumped? besides cv joints/ and broken axles?

its impossible to go anywhere, you risk smashing oil pan, exhaust, body. suspension can bottom out etc. I dont see how people do it. You can lower your car, but dont overdo it.
