Broken Axles?!?!?

Ok, I saw one person who managed to brake an axle, just wondering how many others have accomplished this. Please do let us know how as well.

Superbird, I am specifically talking RL's here. Lots of people break axles, I want to know how common it is on OUR cars. DUH!

I remember seeing one that hit a curb and snapped the axle it was a blue rl I think and weather (snow/ice) related.

It's pretty rare unless you have these conditions; Axle boot busted exposing the joints and driving long term without fixing the problem. Worn out motor mounts causing the engine to over torque the axles.

How much would a custom stronger axle cost?

Finding one is the issue... if you had to have them make one as a 'one-off' it would be pretty expensive for the set. Kinda suprised no one makes any yet...

Local axle rebuilders and fix yours for about 99 bucks each, providing it can be rebuilt. If not there may be a core charge. You need an axle to rebuild.
