How much HP to bend axles.

[66stangbluework]

Would 300hp possibly bend the stock axles or did the previous owner run over a curb? J/w because both of mine are bent. I lifted up the rear and took both wheels off and it definately is bent. Thanks :SNSign:

bent, it takes ALOT of hp to bend the axle tubes/ axles and the rear end would go before the axles bent from hp,
whats done to it to have 300? HCI?

it wouldn't bend an axle, it would snap. basically the design of the axle.. besides your stocker posi or tires would give out under that amount of force to literally just bend the axle rather than break it

btw, it doesnt matter how much HP you got.

It matters how much TRACTION you have

so to rephrase the question... How much TRACTOIN to snap the axels?

cant really bend an axle with too much power. the power rotates the axles and there isnt a force exerted on it that would cause it to bend, it would just break into pieces and as stated above. the tranny or rearend would probably give out before the axles would.

you mean how much torque!

wouldnt worry about the axles. if power levels get that high i would be worried about clutch, tranny or rearend breaking

i've heard about people cracking stock blocks b4 they snap axles. so i wouldnt worry about axles
