Did you deal directly with Frank? Just curious as it's odd to hear things like this with his products.

They were stage 3's All broke in the same place, sheared off in the differential, different sides. The piece they used was a made with inferior steel. Broke 2 of them with a Quaiffe Differential. One with a spool. Went to "good" rebuilt OEM axles and haven't had a problem.
Don't remember who I talked to but the axles were 3 years old but only had 20 passes. I understood that the warranty was not in effect but I wanted to know what was causing it. Basicly they told me they were to old. Sort of like "milk or vegtables" with a shelf life.
I know what usually breaks the axles is the motor moving. My motor didn't move one bit. Zero wheel hop.
I raced turbo dodge stockers for years and never broke an axle. The turbo stocker had more torque than my superstocker.
