Been there, done that... :mad:
In my 68 barracuda fastback daily driver... The third 7 1/4" axle to bite the dust... Was going 60 mph on the highway when the left axle and wheel together came off and passed me on the shoulder of the freeway...

That's when I made the decision to never, never use another weak-suck 7 1/4" axle again...

I had a spare 8 3/4" axle with 3.23 gear and had my trans guy go through it to make sure everything was fresh, and never broke another axle on that car again... I drove that car to 500,000 miles with that axle... It's still good, going to put it in my son's 68 Valiant when we put it together... :steering:
