Axles and wheel studs
Just have a quick couple of question before I buy some stuff and need your input. Im about to buy these axles from summit
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
Are they alot better than stock axle. I need something strong to hold up.Next question is which wheel stud do I need out of the 2 of these ?

Re: Axles and wheel studs
you need 12mmx1.5 studs,
the moser axles are much stronger, but the ring and pinion are the weak link, as well as the spidergears/posi, they will break long before the axles. really no point upgrading the axles, especially the 26 splines ones IMO

Re: Axles and wheel studs
This is only a street car and will have no track time. I am only putting street tires on it no slicks of any kind.I plan on upgrading the rear with moser axles and I already have a powertrax unit so the posi/spider gears are out of the way. I also have the ta girdle and I will be upgrading to a 3.73 gear next summer. I think I will be safe with this rearend upgrade on the street.

Re: Axles and wheel studs
so do you absolutely hate the powertrax yet? You will be fine on the street i was just saying that you really needn't bother upgrading the axles

I just bought the powertrax unit havent installed it yet. Its not the lock right its the new and improved unit that isnt suppose to be as bad and clicky as the lock right I cant remember the name of it for the life of me.
