[Fot] TR4 IRS rear axles

[toodamnfunky at comcast.net]

I don't think there is anything wrong with the stock axles. Some have said you
can get spline lock

but it's never happened to me. I kept them well greased. Maybe more of a
problem with the TR6.

The hubs for sure should be replaced.

It's a single point failure that could destroy the car. Ask Tony about
throwing a rear wheel at speed.

I was more worried about trapping one in the wheel well.B 

I went for the whole hub & CV conversion which is pure artwork and an easy
installation.

Hi All,

I am making some progress on my "new" TR4A race car, and I was wondering
about axels and hubs. On my TR4 solid axle it was an important safety issue
to have the axles uprated (southwick conversion). As far as safety, On the
IRS cars, is it enough to just get new hubs, or does the list recommend new
axles as well?

Thank in advance,
Mark
