Swap Axle Length: Don’t lose time to busted axles!

By Brian Gillespie

So, you have your swap all buttoned up and you’re ready to kill the game at your local meet, track event or just drive thru. You’ve cleared all your engine codes and it sounds bad ass. You let off the clutch and start to pull away. It feels good, really good. So, you really hit the throttle to let it really sing. Then tragedy strikes and you’re going nowhere fast with axle grease coating random parts and worse case scenario, bashed parts smacked by a free spinning axle shaft. So, you are stuck asking yourself, “WTF just happened?”

We know what most likely happened, your axle wasn’t the right size. Carter and I are here to spread the knowledge so you can diagnose axle issues related to the length of your axle and check them for proper length.
