I'm looking for everybody's experiences here and to also get a list rolling of what power levels people have broken various driveline parts at. I'm NOT looking for transmission failures, just other driveline parts. Please share if you broke a front or rear axle, transfer case, rear diff, etc.

I would like to know what version DSM, which part you broke, if the part was OEM, and either 1/4 ET or power level. Any other pertinent information is appreciated also.

I'm in the process of making some (hopefully) indestructible FWD axles for my race car and depending on how this works out I may look at making and marketing some other parts.

Thanks for sharing your experiences,

Kevin
 
My case isn't hardcore since I was totally stock at that time. ;) I'd just bought the car some weeks ago and wanted to do a 6000 rpm clutch dump with 4 people inside. The universal joint just after the transfer case broke and ripped apart a portion of the driveshaft in the process. It's a manual 92 Talon TSI AWD. Hope it helped! :thumb:

Was the '95 a FWD car?

What part of the rear end did you break in the '97?
