ok so i have gone through 3 aftermarket brand new axles in 3 weeks. the driver side was replaced with a used OEM axle and it has zero problems. the passenger side keeps blowing the cv joint closest to the diff, to the point that it has no power going through that axle. I am by no means incompetent with mechanics, went to school for it, worked at a dealership, had a shop with a buddy for a year... the installation is so straight forward i would be extremely suprised if that is what is causing problems. Anything you guys can think of?
Here is a little info about my car that may play a factor...
car is pretty low, its on racelands all the way down with no adjustment collars.
15x9+0 wheels, with the car being that low the rear has a good amount of camber, and i am sure the toe is in too much. (this is all going to be fixed before next drift season)
welded 393 diff.
Now before you go and blame it on the diff, keep in mind a lot of people in not only e30's but also 240's and other cars all run welded diffs in my area with grassroots drifting and i have never seen or heard of anyone having this problem.
feel free to chime in. i think i may return this axle get my money back and go to the junk yard to pull an OEM one
