I've broke atleast 15 rear ends in my race car. What would break is the caps on the rear olding the ring gear in and move the ring gear out of the pinion, in turn breaking the pinion. What im getting at is out of all of the breakage, its never hurt a 31 sline moser axle. Thats pretty damn tuff if you ask me.

I like my Tom's axles and spool.....one broken axle in 2700+ runs, after I did a stupid thing swapping the axles side to side during a hurried up gear change.....

www.tomsdifferentials.com

Only other choice would be the M/W setup, but those are matched splines that don't interchange with anyone else's.

Tom also offers the alloy cap kit for 12-bolts, highly recommended!!!!

I broke a set of 33 spline strange axles in a 10 sec. car, footbraking, a few years ago. The axles were less than 2 years old, but Strange refused to replace because I was not the origional buyer, even though I had the bill of sale.

Replaced with Moser. Everything looked and fit well. About 2 years later, broke wheel studs at Nat. event in Richmond (probably my fault, used impact gun all the time). Went to the Moser trailer to buy some. Told them what happened, and that I needed to buy some studs. Lady working there gave me two packages, no cost, and told me to come get them if I needed any help!

Probably 500 passes later, with no issues at all, sold the car.

Great product and customer service... Look what Moser gives back to the racers, with their IHRA shootouts.

While I feel MW's has good stuff, is it any better?

I like to support those that support me!

Moser for me.

good luck!

Mark Williams in 4 different cars, never a problem. The fit, finish and quality stand out when you compare the other brands side by side. I have had friends that have twisted Strange stuff all the time. Buy the best, Mark Williams, and you never have to worry about it. Dyno

Car built in 1986 with M/W and still going strong. I can only guess that there are over a thousand runs on them. M/W is one of the first checks that you will receive for contingency. Plus they are at National events if you need something. Get the best set up they have first and you're done.

I've seen more broken Strange axles than anything, including stock. MW for me.

I am certain my memory is correct when I recall Al Provoast, with his N/SA 403 wagon, broke a 35 spline Strange axle: And 35 spline stuff, of anyone's manufacture, is HUGE when compared to stock.
