Weak dana 30

[kroussinoffroad]

well everyone says how weak dana 30's are.
mind you i wheeled mine HARD on 33's and then allwinter on 37's (without failure). but aparently they cant hold up to direct impacts with rocks at high speeds.

I hope all these pics work here's a try.

imediatly after the axle broke it vered HARD to the right.

back on solid ground

ford POWER!!!

yeah d30's are stronger than they get credit for if you have some sense... but yeah, looks like that one sucked..

 

[kroussinoffroad]

given the force of impact. SOMTHING was gonna let loose.

patoV6 did that to a D44 too.


I don't see any rocks in that picture...

i believe his had somthing to do with retubing the axle.

the rocks are in the first pic right where the tree line on the trail is. shade to sunlight area

i would just replace it -it seemed to do good til ya bashed it,right? what would the upgrade be a 44 ? they seem very expensive though-i really like the grand cherokees with the roof racks-they look so DAKTARI!
