Default AXLES

Are all B-series axles intechangeable? If they are, any stonger than the others?
I ask this because I am sick of allways having to replace em. Even though they are life-time warranty. I just wanna know so if any ARE stonger the next time one of mines go then I will exchange it the stonger one. If there is any difference?

all 94+ b-series axles are the same
if you want stronger ones, then you might want to look at driveshaftshop.com

But theres usually a reason why axles break. find that and you can stop the problem.

a lot of times having the car too low can cause problems.
How much power are you making?

The intermediate shaft from an automatic tranny is not interchangable with manuals but other than that all B series axles are the same.

the driver side is all right. for now.
I read some where that you have to expect to do this once a year for a lowered car. true? I sure hope not.
Another thing. should I invest in aftermarket racing axles?
or should OEM axles be better?

-I had my passenger axle replaced when I bought my car 3 years ago. Now it's clicking when I turn again.
-had 3 axles on my drivers side. Driving one night and had axle just break, wheel was in my fender. the other next time it snapped due to hard launches. I am currently on my thirfd one but ain't holdong my breath.
