Be warned When replacing your drive axles DO NOT yes DO NOT use FEQ brand Chinese made AXLES they will not hold up to the strain of any cooper S with even slight modification. I have blown up both sides now . Another friend changed his a the same time and his snapped and blew up too. So get oem rebuilt axles rather than inferior FEQ brand axles.
I have the same problem with Chinese made bearings, I no longer buy them from my bearing house.....
I'm not here to bash Chinese products, my understanding is that there aren't enough quality control checks on the steel and that's where the problem is....
