FWIW I've got a set of the old Mueller axles in my spit. They're one-piece,
with the circlip bearing retention. They have a lot of national races on them
from the old days when Jim Johnson had the car, plus 20 or so weekends I've
done. They will bend before they break.
I've only gotten 1 set of the Summers Bros axles, they're the same design
but have the press-on sleeve instead of the circlip. I've have a set out of a
customers car on the bench right now, out of a GP car that must have a
gazillion races on them, crack check fine. Even with sticky slicks, I have a
hard
time understanding how they fail, unless the suspension is repeatedly slamming
hard into full bump.
I think Russ Moore & Ed Barnard have gotten some over the past few years,
mebbe they'll jump in on this one.

drive as slow as I do & the axles will last forever...
