Axle Cover (Girdle)

[Shakerhood]

Does anyone here have a rear axle Girdle, if so what brand? Did you have any clearance problems? Thank You!

Adam runs one - he will likely be in soon.

What kind of issues do you have? actual fitment or issues with the cap supports?

I am actually looking at purchasing one while I have my rear apart and was reading an ad for Kenne Bell and their cover claimed not to have problems hitting the floor or the swaybar or the need to use the sledge on the floor above the rear axle. I started to question wether or not to get one.

 

[HISSIN50]

I gotcha. From what I recall, Adam likes his (and several folks in here run them - I just cant remember who exactly). Once they see this, I am sure they will chime in.

bumpity for ya.

Thanks for the input! I was looking at either a Trick Flow or just a Summit Brand one.

The aftermarket rear covers are worth their weight in gold just for the drain and fill plugs installed in them.

I am in the middle of my M2300K disc brake conversion and I got to see what nasty shape my original cover is in so I thought about the upgrade. I dont think I am putting out the kind of HP to damage anything back there, but I thought alot about the fill and drain plugs too!

I have a TA cover and the MM panhard bar and there are no problems at all.

I have had a T/A (FMS) cover and now have a Strange (LBW?) cover. Both were very similar, I like both.

I have never had a problem with hitting the swaybar or the floor. I have heard of some problems with the floor, but it's basically a "self-clearancing" issue -- it's fixes itself after once or twice. This is actually the first I've heard of swaybar issues, mine have had quite a bit of clearance.

I have not seen someone actually write it out like that.

Thanks for the input guys!

BTW what is (LBW?)?

 

[jerryD]

i think he means LPW.

i think he means LPW.

Ah, yes - that is iy. I don't really know who it is, but I bought it along with most of my other rear end stuff through Strange. Looks like a quality piece -- as was the rest of the parts I bought from them.

 

[Shakerhood]

I think I am just going to go with the one from Trick Flow. It looks like decent quality and wont break the pocket book.

I run a TA cover, I get really SLIGHT rubbing on my sway bar.

Not to hijack ... but where is the best place to get a T/A cover?

I ordered mine directly from TA performance
