i called moser to see if they had any failures and whatnot. i was told im abusing my car? thought thats what it was for.
high hp, heavy car, and a shitty weld.
good thing i broke my center section, or i would have had more trouble in the next few passes.
you can see its shiny, no rust after a week of being off the car.
driveshaft yoke also took a hit.
i havent had the driveshaft out in 30 passes. the splines are twisted so bad i had to beat it out of the tranny with a hammer.
it will not full seat into the transmission anymore.
need to sell the car and build something light.

looks like a bad weld to me. your puttin sumthing like that on a nine inch or 12bolt you have to know people are using slicks with manual trans. or a trans brake, so how do they justify calling it abuse
hope mine doesnt do that
they have changed the bracket over the last couple of years to a once piece cast unit.
i was told for faster production.
i dont know how i feel about a cast iron piece. seems it would just crack in the middle.
anyone have pics of the new bracket?

dont have a pic, but its a very heavy thick piece, i think the torqre arm would break before the cast piece does.
We made the one that was welded until about 8 years ago. Which is when we went to the cast piece. To my knowledge we have not had a cast one break. So this broken one here is at least 8 years old. Stage 20, Call and talk to Rocky and I will have him help you with the new cast one.

i heated it up and its its been rewelded around the ENITRE bracket.
originally it was only welded on one side of the bracket.
the rear was purchased nov 99
When we first started making these brackets we were mostly selling to 3rd gen cars w/o the LT1 or LS1 swaps. The design was sufficient for what was out there. Still, I think there has only been just a few problems with this welded design. When we started selling a lot of rearends to the 4th gen crowd with 6 speeds, we needed something to handle that torque. It made sense then to do the cast one because of both production time to weld one together and strength.
