Better rear axle bearings(easy cross at a bearing supply house), fine spline
rather than coarse, better rear location( panhard,watts link), correct
torque on hub nut & the final fix is a support to stiffen the housing
itself. We run a welded rear & 6" rims with slicks. Have FINALLY stopped
breaking axles from a standing start in hillclimbs. Where are you breaking
them & when? Sue
