Lance_S Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 you running an 86/87 or 88/89? The 87 had 4 bolts, the 88/89 had 6 bolts and are stronger. You may be aware already but I thought I would let you know just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trini2dbone Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 i have an 87. how can i covert or were can i buy new or stronger axles?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strang3majik Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 To convert you have to swap out the whole rear subframe...but, with the 6 bolts, I think axle choices are very limited...but, they're holding up pretty well behind v8s, so...don't wheel hop and you should be fine.

trini2dbone Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 would it have to be custom?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge2004srt4 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yes, they probably dont make anything for our cars ATM or ever possibly. The first time I heard about them was around 2001 or so. I dont think they were that big when these cars used to be popular. You would have to send them an axle for them to basically copy. The only thing you want to consider is if you make that axle stronger, something has to give or break so its probably going to be your differential, driveshaft ect. I broke input shafts on FWD cars because the axles were un-breakable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAinsworth Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 You have to make a lot of horsepower to need more than stock rear axles. They are pretty sturdy unless you are into snatching gears.Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetexan88 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have a complete subframe ready to go if you are anywhere near Dallas Texas. It's not a hard swap. Thanks, David Springer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty sturdy unless you are into snatching gears.Jimmy Yeah what he said, There is a b71 87 near here that ran on the stock rear setup for a couple of years with a boosted LS1 puttin down well over 500hp. I think he did some drifting with his also, so it got tested very hard before it broke. STick with the stock setup until you have to make a change.

trini2dbone Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 yea i do quiet a bit of gear snatching HARD! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistapickles Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 You don't need to swap the entire subframe, all you need is the spindles and the axles.....everything is identical except for the spindles and axles, they bolt right in. As for the axles, I know I've had problems finding the 88-89 axles for sale while the 87 down axles are for sale regularly at AutoZone. I have an 86 and did the swap, blew my axles and ended up having to spend $300 to get them rebuilt while the 87 down axles were for sale at AutoZone for $70 a piece. Let Robert (aka Komeuppance) say it, the four bolt axles are just as strong as the six bolt as long as you have them rebuilt at some point, he said the same about the 87 down transmissions. Trying to run any sort of power through 20+ year old used parts = fail. Try getting the ones you have rebuilt, nothing you are going to do with a G54B is going to break them, an LS1, yeah I'm sure you are but not with a G54B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverfastenuff87tsi Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I think I remember someone here getting theres rebuilt "stronger than stock" from Axlesunlimitedinc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 The part that breaks on the axles is the splined part, that goes inside the diff. That would be the weakest area. You'd have to get some made from stronger metals. A g54b can break axles just as good as a smell-s1... haha... -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
