Torsional Axles are a must when racing or off-roading an IRS Car. The axle "Wraps Up" like a torsion bar, which reduces or eliminates the shock load transmitted to the transaxle. Large serrations allow these axles to "Float" and find their natural center.

Far nicer than the messy rebuilding of your current unit. Price is for one unit to do one SIDE, you need 2 do to a whole car. These are NOT as high a quality as you would get if you were to buy new German CVs and CV Boots, but it's far easier and less mess!
But it's important to know that this axle comes with "Economy" CV Joints and boots. The best job is achieved if you buy German or European parts, and rebuild your current axles. The "Economy" parts are good for guys that want to get the parts replaced quickly, and they can take their time using the good parts for a proper rebuild, for long term axles.
