The splined piece the output flange slides into, don't know what its called.
But my gkn lasted hell of a lot longer than my expensive mfactory. Thats what im getting at. No reason it should of broken. I'll wait and see what happens with it warranty wise before i lose my marbles.
The ring gear on a big pumpkin is 8.75" (22cm). I think a M3 is similar. I have been told the difference is in the carrier bearings. You can preload the tapered bearings in a M3 diff whereas the big pumpkin runs roller bearings and shims.
Yep, just happened to me last week. Same axles, same place. Are you still running these ? Any updates ? MFACTORY axles are GARBAGE. My stocks lasted years before breaking. These lasted a lil over half a year.
No shit? I thought they were rated pretty high? Guess the ford 8.8 is inevitable for me then since I'm not a fan of the m3 diff. What's Mfactory been saying about these failures?
Have tried to get in touch with them. I will try again on Monday. Im afraid to put another set on my car at this point. Cost of towing, breaking the car down, time, etc is just bullshit for 1000.00 axles as listed on their site.
No im not. I returned them got my money back, and ordered a stock axle from fcp. Has held up great so far. Granted its borrowed time. It still works much better than mfactory. Kinda disappointing. Maid in Taiwan as well. When they shipped my second replacement set, it was shipped from there. Just shit quality.
Damn, that sucks. I was thinking of going back to stock to get the car going again. I know stock lasted for years vs a few months with mfactory , And its not actual months. Mainly weekends driven lately.
Well, if thats the case, Got maybe 3-4 days on first set. And the next day the 2nd set broke during a 40 roll. Just don't get it. Read elsewhere also the lsd isnt that great either on top of here. So m3 swap or 8.8 swap is the only viable option.
