Just installed the Avid springs in the rear. I'm running the RPM rear hubs and the rear camber links hits the Avid springs.

Is this a common problem? Any mods to avoid this?

Here's one that I found when I typed in FRONT SWAY BAR into the search thread part.

Hey guys need some help or suggestions one, I keep snapping my front left axle and idk why. I'm not making sideways landing or hitting pipes , walls or anything. I do drive hard but no way in hell a thick metal axle should b breaking, I have replaced it 4 times within the last 2 wks it is the same side that is what is a killer and I replace it with brand new not used at all. Should I try the lungford ones are they better?

I have seen it before. It breaks at the pin hole. I have never broken one but the one I did see, the guy nosed his left front into a large triple. Wasn't surprising to see after a hit like that. Takes a pretty big hit to break them

I just saw this last night from a guy at my track. The only thing I can think of is, our right hand turns are the higher speed corners and a lot of people hit or scrub the pipe in these spots.

I assume this is with the hex axles in the front. weird. I would think you would break and arm or hub first.

I have broken 2 front axles on my SC10 RS in 2 weeks time. I was instructed to lay my front shocks down as much as possible to see if that makes a difference. So far, I've lasted a week without additional breakage. I ordered 2 backup axles from AmainHobbies, so I'm prepared for the next breakage. I'll have to look up the Lungford option.

Man that is exactly where it kept breaking, I started having this prob like 2 wks ago and have had this truck for 7 months. And do upkeep like every 5-6 days. Idk what the prob is guys so I think I have a solution coming in the mail today lol, guess what it is .........a new truck lol throw the same setup on it and see how she rips lol
