Stupid axles..

[boxboy]

I have now busted two of these, the same way, on the same side... It is a higher strength outer then a stock outer and the funny thing is on the short side I am still running the original stock inner and outer... I think something is binding just don't know what... I am headed home now to tear it down...:censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:

 

[JOOP]

What axle is that?

 

[boxboy]

Front Dana 44 from a 85(or something like that)waggy

 

[JOOP]

is it breaking when you turn? Almost looks like your over turning and the yokes are hitting, then exploding.

 

[boxboy]

I have not change the stearing stops they are still set from stock.

 

[JOOP]

That doesn't mean its not over turning. I would check and see, just to make sure. Somehting is making it explode like that.

 

[CrustyJeep]

Too much toe in will give you too much steering angle on the outside tire... Seems like that would kill u-joints though.

 

[JOOP]

Dont quote me but I think the toe in should only be about 1/16th" Atleast thats what xJoe and I have been using for our backyard alignments. Seems to work.

Toe in--bad... very

 

[boxboy]

I am thinking I have something off with the steering I was going to double check that... I will go see what my toe-in is at right now... I did bend my tie rod a couple weeks ago maybe it pulled the tow in to much.

 

[Little Red Zuk]

Is that one of ours?

Is that one of ours?

a huh :redneck:

And its one of the coolest breaks I have ever seen on a 44 stub....

Friggle, sniggle, carnsarn shafts.

Make sure you bring it in to be peeked at. I want to make sure that it wasn't an axle flaw:redneck:

(But excessive toe will do that too.)

I think scott is going to bring the rig up once the new shaft is in so I can check it and see whats going on with it.

But ya you gotta see it daren---pretty cool(never seen one split like that,lol)

 

[CrustyJeep]

Did the second one split like the first one did?

Did the second one split like the first one did?

Very simular....

Impressive huh :redneck:

I blew a Warn axle apart just exactly like that a month ago in the snow. Wheels pointed straight ahead. Wheels spinning and one grabbed traction hard and it went. U-joint was still ok, other than the caps coming off.

Its nice to not have to worry about that stuff anymore lol...

Ya I blew a 44 shaft apart like that once :wtf: And I was crawling thru the snow--granted it was over my hood my I was still crawling thru it,lol...

 

[boxboy]

Worked called so I was only able to get the pressure washer out and tried to get it running...


Yes this is a one of your axles LRZ but I don't think it is a flawed shaft... I do need some parts so I will be calling :helpsmilie:

Oh and the pic is of the first shaft I broke but the second one looks the same.

I was hoping this D44 would get me through the summer and in the mean time get working on the D60's... but maybe I need to put more effort into the 60's...
