Unless I'm reading his thread wrong Need4speed broke his on his SRT-8 charger the first time .....before he installed the quaife...... which only adds to the confusion (or at least mine) . Here is the original post.................
News break - Charger SRT8 snaps half-shaft...film at 11... - Dodge Charger Forums
This is his post on page 3 .....post 21.....where he thinks the quaife might actually help him.........so I am confused...........
and no update ...although I think he broke one again after that . It's probably posted elsewhere ..just can't find it...................his post in the thread (below)...................
Thanks for the replys guys...
I do not have the Quaife installed yet - I was planning to do that next week.
Anyway, I went by the
dealership today to visit the parts counter and this is the info I found...
Complete driver-side axle assembly - $970.00
Looks like I might get away cheaper then I thought though. I talked with the shop that I was going with to install the Quaife (Road & Race in WPB). They said since they have to remove the half-shafts to do the Quaife install that they wouldnt charge me to install the new half-shaft. So I ordered the Quaife and the half-shaft from them today - they should have everything on Monday. I got lucky and there is 1 driver side half-shaft in Orlando! So either Monday or Tuesday I'll toe the
car to their shop and get everything done. Should have the car back by Wednesday. Looking forward to putting this whole ordeal behind me! I'm going camping with my kids this weekend (YMCA Indian Princess & Guides program), so I should be able to keep my mind off it.
Thanks for all the kind words guys! I really think the stock open diff was a BIG part of the problem! Hopefully with the Quaife installed along with probably replacing the Nitto drag radials with some better BFG drag radials - I'll be able to get my 11 sec. pass!!! I'm not done!!!
