Ok,,, just cause i`m grumpy tonight,,, they`re called "Axles" ,,, not "Axels"

& if you have over 180hp then i`ll let you keep asking the question

But if you barely have 120hp then i`ll ask---> why do you ask???

Hey Grumpy, it's grumpier.....Never really had a problem with either Axles or Axels...........However, I have broken Drive Shafts (standard pot joint (or is that pot roast) types) - but only front ones - never rears - on numerous occasions with only about 65 - 70 HP, so if I increase the HP to about 120 will that fix the problem??? :lol: :lol: :lol: (grumpy old so and so) or should I use rears in the fronts??? :lol: :lol: :lol: or should I use axles?????

I have broken an "AXEL" in my Moke - I blame the 13x7s rather than the screaming power of the tired 1098 in it. :lol:

Whether you break axles or not probably depends on how you use the clutch more than anything.
