that axle didnt snap from power and traction, it snapped from rust. the rubber harmonic dampner made the rust build there even more than the rest of your car, therefore it was WEAK.

believe it or not: our cars making NEAR stock to stock power (any motor) wont snap an axle w/out huge slicks. street tires will give way before an axle shaft snaps unless you have other problems, thats how i figured it was rust related.

Wow I need to post the pick of my snapped axle and the axle piece that I pulled out of my tranny. I have an obd-1 LS swap(ls tranny) with intake, header, exhaust, and a 6 puck. I broke my napa axle after I had the motor in for 3 weeks. It broke off flush with the tranny, I had to drill/tap the piece, put a bolt in it, and yank it out... It took me 2 hours to get it out. And I was on street tires taking off at only 4k.

i have had my b16 swap for 6 years and didn't have a prob til i swapped over to FI and supercharged it broke both axles in a week. had to toe it the first time cause i have lsd don't use reman axles go to Napa and tell them you want brand new ones. they cost like 20 dollars more and they are the ones the dealer uses when they don't have one at their shop. haven't broken one since then

Yeah mine was definately a defective axle. If I knew how to post up a picture of it I would. I'm having more axle problems with mine. I made a post but nobody has replied with any answers.
