Cory you are gonna laugh the first time you get out on the 2 step. Makes it much easier and lets you focus on the preloading.



There is nothing special about raxles. They just use OEM cores. If you get an OEM core and get it rebuilt by the proper people the cost will be about $240 per axle including core.


All this breaking axle stuff is because of aftermarket axles, stock Nissan axles are the only way to go.

The only thing tha Raxles does special is put on a better boot, aside from that there is nothing special. If Raxles got a aftermarket core they could do nothing with it. Again Raxles are no better than Nissan stock axles because that is what they are with a better boot on them.

That was my point, they use OEM axle shafts and are half the cost of an axle directly from Nissan. Did I claim "special" axles in my post somewhere?

I have new Cardone axles. I broke 2 all motor doing burnouts with the VE. I must have a magical set now because I haven't broken one since. I am just praying that the driver side doesn't break inside the trans. That would be a bad day.

This man is exactly right. My turbo car made some 10sec passes with a 1.8 60ft time and launching on 10psi of boost. NEVER broke an axle. NEVER

OEM Nissan Axles FTW!
