Rear Axle Shaft Ideas
What axle should i upgrade to and what do i have? I have heard that moser is the best but i have traction control, abs, asr etc and i dont know what i need or what to look out for while installing? I can get oem from a scrap yrd or ebay cheap but i dont wanna do this again soon as the car gets drove pretty hard. Ideas?
Response to my last post: So my rear axle has been deemed the coulprit of grinding noise under my car. while inside the car i had thought it was comming from the front but after walking next to it i noticed it came from the back. jacked it up and noticed that on both sides the rear wheels while in drive were wobbling a little. they felt solid when i pulled, pushed etc on them. If its something else or minor wobble is normal please stop me before i waste money lol

The carrier and pinion are so weak I don't think hardly anyone worries about the shafts the other parts break long before. If you have real reason to believe the axles are damaged I would just get used parts from someone who went to a stronger housing.

Did a search and little info with not much response. I would think just getting a used one and checking it at the wrecking yard would be the best thing. I assume backing into or hitting the rear tire bent the axle. Could have been there when you bought the car.
Does anyone know if doing donuts in a parking lot of being hard on the car in general could have bent the axle, or would it have been from an impact? I had a bent axle when I bought my car and I assume it was from backing into a curb or striking something.
