Subject: Re: Rear end gurus, step inside please. by dan0617 on 2009/8/10 15:00:59 Thanks for the part clarification and advice, that helps alot! I was thinking the 1/2 shaft would be the most suspect and I know I can swap one of those out at the track fairly easily. Sounds like the spindle, or outer stub axle, is most prone to break. I'll have to look up what all needs done to change one of those. I am running mid 1.5 60' times at the track, and that is standing it up on the converter to about 2K rpms, then rolling the pedal to the floor fairly easily, then hitting the spray about 1/2 second after my foot makes it to the floor. I'm sure if I just nailed it to the floor on launch, then hit the spray after getting it to the floor, I'd run in the low 1.4's. A launch on the spray would be phenomenal, but I know I'm going to have to stick to the mid 1.5's with the D-36. I honestly was thinking the case would be stronger than the 1/2 shafts and spindles but it sounds like not. At this point I'll look into how hard/time consuming it is to swap spindles, then I'll buy a used 1/2 shaft, maybe a spindle, and then just run it till it breaks something. If it's the case, I'll likely have to swap to a D-44 since I know a solid rear conversion is not even in the 2 year plan with my budget. |
