Default NEED A STRONG AXLE........ANY SUGGESTIONS

what up i got a jdm b20 and ls tranny ive been breakn my passenger side axle left and right think i have gone thru three in like 6 months....when the first one broke i was told that kragen (westcoast) had the best oem replacement axles outside of honda and they came with a lifetime warrentie so i got one i have been breakn them ever since....figured i would use the lifetime warrentie AND just goin thru the hassle. well sick of changing axles and want to get a high performance one that wont break on me DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.......ps these axles are breakn under regular drivn some smashn but not alot no stupid burnouts or poppn the clutch to hard either........

upgrade your motor mounts or fill them with 3m window weld fixed my problem..you just have to focus on gettting rid of wheel hop and you should be fine for about 300 hp or soo.

There is a guy with a 10sec (on a 1/4 of course) hatch with lifetime autzone axles (he's broke a few, but there lifetime so just take them back). So i would think so, and hasports with some polyurethane inserts is deff. a good idea.

go to oreillys or another parts store ask them for 3M window weld. it goes in a **** gun,its liquid polyurethane and fill your stock mounts with this stuff. i love it its 14 bucks and hasnt failed me yet on my 220 whp civic with no lsd and stock axles. OO and an Lsd will solve your problem too. DO you notice any wheel hop??? and if you have the money get hasports

yeah lots of wheel hop with the torque of the b20 and i can afford the hasports been thinkn about gettn them for a while anyways cause i am gonna supercharge it so i wanna be full proof as far as mounts go you know.......and im sure the stock ones are just about done anyways ive replaced the upper driver side once already (1996 ek coupe) so i might as well just get them instead of wastin money on new stuff every three months....

One of my boys hitting 10.2 with stock axels. Accord axles with civic outers. I dont know if it will help you or not. What he does it kinda burn the clutch while he takes out. Dumping the clutch pretty much will snap the axle, if you have an extream clutch.

BTW hes useing autozone axels.
500 hp axles will snap if your dumping the clutch, if your getting grip while launching with will eventually snap.

I bought this thing called polyerthane window sealer from a local homedepot. I think it was like 7 bucks per tube. It filled all my mounts, rock solid. Also never try to use it when the mounts are on the car.
