Issue: Ford Racing Halfshafts

[Tron]

Actually looking at the pictures, the bolts are accessible while still installed. Soo a really easy fix......

All I hear is whining. Such is life when you modify cars. Gotta pay to play. They owe you new half shafts nothing more.

Watson snapped a ford racing axle in Florida last weekend.


Edit.

My error. Was a 2k Hp DSS axle that broke.

I got that info from a friend at watson.

Conflicting info from another source RMB (;-)

Could have been a DSS

Any chance you can get some clarification on that? While it is just one instance so far, they add up...

 

[Anthony]

Yup. On it already. Trying to get s pic of the shaft too

The shafts that they broke were shafts that they made up for their 9" conversion, with the inboard mounted brakes.

I was under the impression that they were not the FRPP Shafts. (I was there hanging around the Watson Pit)

So, while I am not sure who made them....I can say with almost 100% certainty that they were not the FRPP Shafts.

Nope not Ford Racing shafts

So just take the bolts out one at a time, apply new loctite and reinstall and torque? But I'm guessing the heads of the bolts face the spindle and the diff. Still not a huge deal. Thank god I'm my own mechanic...

Same thing I thought and asked when I got called by Ford Racing about the issue. Apparently it's not that simple and there may be a bit more to it than just throwing some new loctite on there. They are going to cover labor and shipping on all the ones I've done so far so thats a plus.
