You're killing the stock axles at 11 psi?!

yeah actually its only 10psi with a spike here and there to 11psi. for some reason its just the driverside one but i figure i should go ahead a replace them now since i am doing a rebuild soon

Ditch the 18's and i bet your problom will be better. I wonder why the driver side it is shorter.

if im not mistaken, the drivers side is where most the power is put down. so it breaks first. not sure though.

The driver's side, being the shorter axle, is more likely to break, because the same amount of torsional force is being exerted over a smaller length.

I don't know if Bill Hahn has his still, but he was selling the axles/hubs from his RS. He got some new higher stage axles for it or something - it was in a recent post of his. I think he wanted $500 for em.
