cyrus Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Has anyone installed the Modern Motorsports 6 bolt axle end stops on the outboard? I like the idea of putting them there since I alread did. Any issues I am not aware of? PS The axles and adapters look AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I've got them on both ends of the axel. Problems arise with out them. THe axel will walk and pull the CV out of the housing. It happened more frequently with the axel moving inboard and pulling the outer CV out of the housing. I did have it happen once or twice with the axel moving outboard. THe stops solved this issue.

cyrus Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 So do I NEED one on each side of the axle? If I have only two, which side would you put them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 If you only have 2 I would put them on the inboard side. Out board ones were only needed at a road course HPDE. Never had a problem on the street from needing an outboard stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 pulling the outer CV out of the housing. What exactly do you mean. IT sounds like an axle problem. I thought plenty of guys run the axles with no stops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 You should use the end stops on both sides. TimZ ruined an inner CV with no stop installed, and I trashed an outer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 And I've done both a couple of times. The axel will walk to one end, punch thru the grease cap and pull the balls out of the opposite side CV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrus Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Does anyone sell them by themselves? How come this does not happen on the stock alxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 On stock axels, only one end slides. This set up used two inboard CV's. They both allow the axel shaft to slide. I'm sure Ross would hook you up with a set of stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
