Seriously, what's the failure mode on these?
My weekend just wasn't meant to be in the GT3. Apparently when all of this carnage happened the axle was compromised as well. I got it all put back together last night, car was running and ready for test drive. Went to put final torque on the axle going in 50lb increments. Impact got it close to 150. 200 was good. 250 good. When I went to put 300 ft/lbs on the axle (340 is spec) the axle broke at the splines where it goes through the hub/ bearing. ![Frown](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Stole my wife's 997 TT and took it instead.

On the plus side, at least it didn't fail on track. Happened to me a few years ago and the collateral damage was expensive.

I know a few people who have suffered axle failures this season and do actually consider it a blessing in disguise that this happened in the setting that it did for me.

I use Neo for wheelbearings & CV joints
9deg off of horizontal on the halfshaft at static ride height is as much as you want to go
