So after a good weekend of autocrossing i manage to break a axles and a tie rod. I been using hardrace product for all my suspension parts bushings, control arms etc ! After several calls i made to place a order for there tie rod ends they told me there setup was not recomended and i shouldnt use them.

Now my big question is what brand tie rods do you guys recomend for street/track i need both outer and inner rods or should i buy oem ?

For axles i went with driveshaftshop

 

oem or moog for the rods

as for axles. raxles makes a vented road race axle that's wonderful on NA cars.

 

So Hardrace does NOT recommend their own product?

 

some companies do this when people break their products. it's their way of saying "go away"

 

no not actual hardrace but there vendors..

 

That makes more sense

 

Others who are looking for axles might also want to consider the forged, hollow core, 6 bearing units from MFactory as well.

Im give the driveshaft a try see how they work and for the tie rods i went with Moog i would let you guys know how they peforme

 

Vented axles? I'm confused and I'd love to see pictures. Me personally I run NAPA lifetime warranty axles. I've tried a few and these hold up very well! If you ever manage to break one then it is replaced for free.

 

have to call and chat with them. long story short, in road racing axles will fail due to heat. a 15 minute session can create tremendous heat in the cv. you have brakes operating at 1000deg and the speed friction. not a good combo

 

I been using Napa axles yeah they last longer then any other replacement aftermarket axles ( autozone etc) but they wont handle the abuse couple laps and there they go wish Honda had free replacement lol

 

Raxles no longer do the "vented" axles. Now their road racing axles are branded VIR.
