This race car raced 9 seasons pulling 2Gs in the turns using 308 wheel carries and bearings with 4340 stub axles...so it seems a well design axle has no issues.

I emailed Strange engineering to see if they are interested in making 208 axles or interested in partially finished non-hardened axles to at least save me the annealing step.

I'm curious - is there any chance that the issues with the existing 308 stub axles could be mitigated by doing stuff like sleeving, spray-welding and machining a radius, heat or cryo treating, etc?

I guess the risk is that you do all of that to a 40mm setup that lasts 50% longer than the OEM unit but still fails and you've done more work than just going to the 45...

Just got the long awaited email, gaskets are ready to ship!

Sadly I'm only 1/2 done with the floor refinish :cry:

I just received my custom 360 "Turbo" head gaskets as well. He isn't fast but he is the best.
