First off the axles were replaced around 3-5k miles ago. I just broke them both. Shattered one of them and broke the other one in half in one spot. I guess this really shows the power of the sho, lol. I do have fun in the car but don't really beat on it that bad so why would I only get that few miles out of the axles? They were replaced properly. I am hoping that nothing fell into the tranny and messed it up. Any ideas why they broke so quickly?

Don't punch it off the line all the time :biggrin:

My car has only been through 2 axles in the 10 years it's been on the road, so I don't know.

I think its been stupid of me to floor it around a corner I've heard that could cause them to snap

The only time I snapped an axle was the final time I went drag racing and had the tires down to 20-25 psi. If they are a reman maybe they didnt reman them correctly. I also had someone tell me that bad motor mounts can cause axles to go south quicker.
