Just wondering how well stock axles and slicks go together. How many of you run slicks on stock axles. (horror stories are welcome) thanks

 

I run stock axles with 24.5x9x13 Hoosiers and I've only broke one axel the entire season. I find that preloading the tranny helps take away the chock to the drivetrain.

Oh, I pull 1.6 60's too

 

I run stock axels on mine with 22x8-15 Mickey Thompson slicks pulling ave. 1.7-8 sixties and I broke only one axel this last season (right axel btw). I usually ran 10-12psi in my tires and lauched @ 7800 rpms

 

I still run stock axels 22-9-13

preload?

 

it means to get the "slack" outta there, dont just drop the clutch

 

Re ran stock axles on Brian's car all last season, he went through a lot of pairs but they're cheap... There was a post on H-T a few days ago discussing "preloading" if are interested check it out... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=749826

22X8X13 M & H slicks. Stock axles-not broken yet. 1.7-1.8 60's. 4 launches on the 23 X 8 X 13's that I got recently, still no breaks. (yet)

 

i was using stock axles w/ 22x8's and was fine until a CV went bad then replaced them w/ dss stage 2 and broke the dss.... on the stock axles
