I BOUGHT A SET OF THESE STAGE 5 AXLES LAST YEAR AND KEPT HAVING THE PASSENGER SIDE AXLE POPPING OUT CONSTANTLY. I CALLED AND CALLED THE SHOP AND THEY KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS THE DIFF I WAS USING (RICHMOND SPOOL). THEY SAID IT WAS THE SNAP RING ALSO. I SHIPPED THE AXLE BACK TO THEM AND THEY SENT A NEW ONE,, SAME THING....
THE THING IS WHEN I INSTALL THE AXLE IT DOESN'T SEEM TO GO IN FAR ENOUGH AND TRUST ME ITS IN ALL THE WAY. AFTER INSTALLATION IT WIGGLES UP AND DOWN WITH ALOT OF PLAY. IF I REMOVE THAT AXLE AND STICK A OEM ONE IN IT SLIDES ALL THE WAY IN AND HAS NO WOBBLE OR PLAY.... IVE SPOKE WITH FRANK AND HE SEEMS TO THINK ITS NOT HIS PRODUCT BUT MY OEM FITS PERFECT. HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM?
THE REASON I AM WRITING THIS IS CUZ WHILE AT THE DYNO YESTERDAY I WAS ON MY WAY TO MAKING 850whp AND THE AXLE POPPED OUT AND THE CAR TOOK A VIOLENT RIGHT TURN AND ALMOST TOTALLED MY CAR, NOT TO MENTION I THINK I BROKE THE TRANNY NOW. I ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM AT THE TRACK WITH THIS AND WOULD HAVE TO CHECK AND POP IT BACK IN AFTER EVERY PASS. 2000 DOLLARS FOR THIS IS TOTAL BS!!! I HAVE HASPORT MOUNTS AND THE MOTOR IS NOT SAGGING OR OUT OF ALLIGNMENT.

im having the same problem with my 95 gsr. all of a sudden it keeps popping out the passanger axel ( its just some autozone specials tho). but same with yours it goes in the trans but i can still wiggle it around with alot of play. its pissing me off. is there different sizes of axels (input length ) or are they all the same?

 

the input shafts are the same unless your using an aftermarket axle. your axle should pop in nice unless your using a spool or diff then u may have a problem. but if your axle goes in all the way and it keeps popping out then change the snap ring or bring it back to autozone and have them warranty it 4 a new 1

 

i would bust out my micrometer and compare both your axles

 

WHY ARE YOU YELLING THIS AT US???

Anyway... If you're having the same problem after switching out your axle, I'm thinking it is more than likely related to the differential. Make sure which model transmission you have compared to the axles you are receiving the correct part number...
