Supastox axle bending , getting annoyed now !

[Jonathon555]

My first diffed superstox axle from the first batch lasted 8 weeks no problem

I bought a new axle 4 weeks ago and have bent at least 1 new axle every week since, now on to axle number 5 !

The replacement axles seem to be alot softer than the initial batch, always bending at the same point on the diff end

Anyone else finding this ?

I had a slight bend in my original one and picked up a new one last night but haven't run it yet.

It was nearly one a week for me when I was running a SupaStox and I was TQ & F1 most weeks so was hardly hitting a thing, last season I didn't bend one on my mardave diff axle so there's got to be something wrong somewhere

Well I have had some good hits and not done one, though I did buy a spare, sods law buy two and never need the spare

You can't be going fast enough

I've had no trouble with axle bend, until I ran a meeting with a mardave z drive on the non diff side. It bent where the grub screws touched, with no real impact to speak of. Bent back perfectly, and completed the meeting without the mardave part. Since replaced, but I'm of the opinion the z drive grub screws caused the weekness, so back running the Schumacher part.
