hard launch - it just popped. grinds but puts no power to wheels whn in gear. i dont think the axles are turning. so it ripped out the diff. i guess.

 

Do you have a puddle of fluid on the ground?

 

nope. no puddle.

 

Shame.

Drain the fluid.

 

just snapped the passenger side axle at the hub. couldnt see the axle spinning at the diff last night in the dark. thats why the driver's side didnt move and why it didn't move the car. never thought id be relieved to bust an axle....

 

first a motor mount bolt, then an axle. my engine is beating the hell out of the rest of my car. in all fairness i believe the bolt put extra stress on an already worn axle. but still.

 

Well, thats what happens when you put power in a car that was never meant for it, lol.

 

how much torque should stock axles be able to hold? myengine is .020 over, a little decked, and has a pile of bolt ons. i didn't think i was in harder axle territory.

 

What the engine is rated at.

 

hell i snaped the driver side axle once with a DOHC ATX and thats with no mods
