Re: Got the rear fixed!

You are right....that will probably end up being the result again. As I mentioned earlier, it is just a test case and I had X amount of dollars to spend. I was not going to spend 14-1500 dollars to make a solid unit if it is just going to break again so the money was spent to strengthen the carrier area as much as possible. Axles were the only thing spared and since it is driven on the street often, I kept the c-clips in it as well as the old carrier. If the 30 spline stock axles break, then I'm cool with that. I will clean it up and throw some axles in it and see how much longer it will last. If I am going to spend that kind of money, I will build a complete 9 inch and be done with it. I'm just trying to see how much abuse one will take before I buckle up and throw a 9 inch in it.
