psi - thats funny my friends honda broke an axle like that.... but he beat the piss out of that thing!

MikeCrowsoft · 05-10-2005, 05:42 PM

I was told that one thing that really hurts your axles is when you apply full power when your wheels are fully turned left or right. Something I learned the hard way on a previous honda "winter beater". You should have added to your questions: "do you apply full power while the wheels are fully turned".

And one word of advice: don't buy "rebuild" transaxles. My experience with these is that they spend more time shining the part than actually fixing it. They don't last.
