snapping cv axels

[powersports_nwt]

i have an 07 ac 700 efi and exacutioner tires and i keep snapping cv axels this is leading me to believe stock axel arn't heavy enough for the aggressive rubbers does anyone know some moderatly priced axel with out have to go with gorrilias and pay 2500 for 2 axels

what breaks them almost every time on my machine (400 Outlander) is when I have the steering cranked to one side while stuck and giving it throttle.

Gorilla doesn't make aftermarket CV's for mine, I've already spent over $1K replacing 4 of them. I just winch it out now instead of tryin' to be a hero, cheaper that way.....:d

Welcome to the site.... Check out Royal distributors. They have a site and carry alot of aftermarket parts and accesories, another one is Motovan. Motovan will ship to dealerships closest to you. R.D. will ship to your door. Do you have a lift kit on your cat?

moto van and royal don't put out cvs for mine i checked into that already and no lift kit just aggressive exacutioners

Even with Gorillas if you have your wheels cranked too one side or the other they will still break.I learned this while snapping a few with my Prowler.I worked on keeping the wheels straight and if I couldnt then winch it out.Have not broke an axel since!
catmando!

wow, never heard of rears breaking that often. I guess the stiffer CV's would be your only option, or put a couple wool socks over your air filter.....:d

 

[powersports_nwt]

yeah i replaced 4 of them so far and 1 front drive shaft

Are you serious on that price I know for Grizzly 660's you could get 5 axles for that price. Maybe get some more quotes from different dealers.
