29602, 2" drop and breaking axles....... Posted by donnyb373, Jul-12-06 04:19 PM
well since being lowerd 2" iv been having axles break liek crazy, and its always the DRIVERS SIDE, the axle itself isnt breaking but the boot is tearing and the axle seperates, i searched and came up with a couple of other members that have had this vary same issue, Now the million dollar question....how did you guys fix it?

Yeah, that definately isn't "breaking axles" lol, but what you should look for is something in it's new range of motion that the boots are hitting and getting cut by.
If the boots are tearing just because they arn't straight, then it's a cheap boot. You can get axles with polyurethane boots from NAPA, or you can just get some polyurethane replacement boots for yours, and rebuild it.

God damnit, today i got my car re-alighnd and damn if the drivers side outer boot was torn to hell. I looked a the suspension while ther was load on the tires and nothin is binding so i have no fuckin clue, i may just ditch the 2" springs and get some 1.5s
this is becoming pretty fuckin redick if you ask me, 3rd one in less than 2 weeks...
