does anyone have a broken cv they could send me for some analysis? cage/carrier and *****, etc.

for those people who break CV's often, can you please shortly explain when it happens, and show pictures if you have them of the failures. if no pics, please try to describe where the break occurs.

thank you.

the most common place for them to break is the shaft on the outer cv.

i broke an axle launching my car and forgetting to preload for some reason.. 1st time ive ever not preloaded haha.. 6800rpms, 5psi of boost at the line and on 24.5" slicks and no preloading with just clutch drop = instant snap!

the other time was on a brand new oreily reman. axle and the innner cv joint just exploded halfway through a burnout lol..

 

I broke a few axles....then I got dss stage III's...and now I break transmissions

haha i use to break transmissions and now i break axles... gotta love racerstev's heat treated gears

 

rota has snapped one at the splines where it enters the Dif.

On the DD one broke the axle shaft at the outter CV joint.

 

dss 5.9's now, so far no issues.

 

how do you guys break so many axles

 

DSS 5.9 axles no problems, work every time.

 

i've broken about 5 DSS old stage 5's/new 3.9's. They all broke on either the inner or outer joint. only one happened on a 1-2 shift, the rest broke on the launch.

 

thanks for all the pictures. could anyone show close ups if you have them of the breaks. like the end of the spline part that sheared off, or the star and cage that split.

thanks

How in the hell are you breaking all those? I run the same axles and have yet to break one! lol

exactly, its called H22! this is why Joe is gonna fab me up some mounts to straighten for really good price, ain't that right Joe?!

 

im up for whatever i wish i knew where i put the mounts we made from my H22 hatch, that would have made both our lives a lot easier!!

 

yes it would!

 

 

Twisted.

 

how much power was this car making? that looks like the product of shitty manufacturing, material, or both.
