If you have the skills to do it, switching to non plunging axles is the real fix. I never lost an axle on the Tigers and we ran them a lot harder and longer. |

If I knew how to I'd have it done professionally. This crap is annoying and sickening. 3 rides only in a year. It's ridiculous!!! When it rolls it's getting sold. I can't imagine going through all this bullshit again. |

I understand your frustration, I've been there. If that was built with the Geo, it should have Audi axles, I found them to be better than the Citreon. If you wan to cure it and make it a lot faster, put the 583 in it, and rework the rear suspension to accommodate one piece axles. Basically, and this is not the total answer, you have to move the rear wheels back a few inches so the axles don't lean forward and relocate the rear arms so the axles are more free to move without binding. |

There was guy on here that knew an easy/reliable way to do all this (axles and rear links), but he got banned for bragging when he was trying to sell it. |

Here is a fix that I saw at Alain's shop several years ago, it does not eliminate the two piece axles, but it does eliminate the 'forward lean' which is a large part of why they bind and have problems. Basically he lengthened the 'trailing arm' by adding an extension to the front of it.

Ban for bragging I doubt that, refresh us with more details please, BTW if he had anything worth buying I am sure a simple search on the internet would provide the links to his great innovations this site is NOT the only place on the planet earth to market a product or service  If I am thinking of the guy your talking about he had conflict with other members here and was basically full of shit, I could be wrong I am wrong often so someone could provide us with the link to his products and service and prove me wrong again. |

I don't remember his name but some members got their panties in a bunch because he said his buggy was the best ever or something, I don't remember. I didn't say anything about great innovations or selling parts or service. He was just regular dude that had a lot of time in his Drak and had fixed what he thought was bad rear suspension geometry. |

Well nothing from ATVR. So much for that. Back to square one? Hoser I tried them back when I had the first broken one and one good one. They told me they no longer deal with other custom axles and were sorry but cannot help |
