Something eles to think about... http://www.spohn.net/support/questi... end? What is the torque rating on the axles?

 

If I over exaggerate on torque output it says 35 spline is still overkill. I'm going to call Moser tomorrow. I have a feeling I'm going to spend some more money.

 

Yes but its hard to put price on safety, you don't want to take a hard left or right unexpectedly be safe.

 

should that trq caclulator not have a multiplier for the torque converter increase ?

 

You could always go with COMPLETE overkill, and put some 11/16 studs in there like I did.

That's what it's getting. I talked to Moser this morning. They said $50 per axle to check/straighten them and another $65 for the pair to drill and tapp for the larger studs. Guess there will be no racing for me this weekend.

 

.6875 lug that's the real deal there.

 

Good choice.

 

Hey man... don't come in here flaunting all your fancy shit making me look bad. lol

Let me know when you're heading to OSW.

 

Damn , and the high on Sunday is only in the 60s !

Its the rain out date for NOF . Just sent a text to Wade to see if there will be T&T .

 

NO test and tune Sunday .

 

I'm shocked Dave.

Pulled the axles tonight. They looked a little twisted. Might be putting in another call to Moser.

Um those don't look strait lol.. Those are wall hangers.
May as well get better axles

 

how much for the 11/16 studs?
And what is the turn around.?

 

For shits and giggles I'm going to call Moser to see what they'll do, I doubt anything. He told me yesterday that I would never be able to twist them. lol If I bought new axles I'll go ahead and swap to 9" ends. The only down side to that is I would want to shorten the housing to run less backspace. But I don't want the car to be down for ever trying to come up with a ton of money. We'll see I guess.

$65 to drill and tap for the bigger studs. 2 days from the time they receive them until they are shipped back out.

 

Wow, are those 33 spline axles?

Do you have to drill out the wheels to get those 11/16" studs to fit?

 

Those are 35 spline axles. I'm not sure on drilling the wheels. I don't think so if you're using a shanked lug nut. From what I've found, all the 5/8" studs have a 11/16 shank on them. We'll see soon enough.

I've been tossing around a few ideas on what to do. I don't want to start a huge project that will take a few months to do or come up with the money. According to Moser these axles are still good. They said I can run them up to a twist of 3 splines. They wouldn't verify if that was the axle for the job, tell me if it was going to keep twisting, or why it was happening. He just kept saying Sir, that's the largest axle that will fit in that housing. He did say at one point the bent wheel studs is what caused the twisted splines. I'm not sold on that. I know they're not bad but I don't want it to keep going either.

I'm going to get with TRZ today to get some 9" housing ends to replace these c clip eliminators. A local friend is going to let me use their bar and pucks so I can install the new ends. For now I'm going to stay stock length so I don't have to buy new wheels. I'll either go with a set of 35 spline Strange or Mark Williams axles.

 

My Bogarts fit perfectly over the 11/16 studs. We had to drill my rotor hats, and my street wheels out though. I did it so that I could run the same lug nuts on both the street and track wheels. It's nice not having to worry about having 10 other lug nuts to keep track of if I am changing the wheels out.

For a 35 spline axle on turbo drag radial that sucks.. Put those in a nitrous car with trans brake. You would see that 3 spline twist.
I think there is more to it than moser is saying. If I saw that in the a machining center we would be giving a hard look at material it was made from and hardening process ..

 

Im running 35 spline Moser axles in my Dana60 .
